The Narcissists Ball: The Garden of Earthly Delights, a self-love affair of epic proportions, will bring together artists, designers, philanthropists, press, and society for an evening of splendor with BOFFO. While enjoying dinner, music, performances, and cocktails, guests will be able to participate in a silent auction to win a commissioned portrait and other narcissistic items by 30 over artists, designers, and architects. This year's theme, alongside our typically narcissistic attitude, is "Garden of Earthly Delights." The evening will unfold with outdoor decadence at Elizabeth Street Garden. The food and entertainment will all be choreographed and inspired by Bosch's famous 15th century triptych of torture, and retribution in a hellscape portraying the torments of "Eternal Damnation."
