WHAT
Please join us for Envision Artopia Spring 2011, the Twin Cities largest fashion event--an upscale evening celebrating the best in local fashion, art and music. This will be the 8th ENVISION event, which has quickly gained a reputation as the hippest seen-and-be-seen event to kick off MN Fashion Week each year during spring and fall - the most important fashion seasons. More than 1000 of the Twin Cities’ most glamorous fashionistas, glitterati, urban hipsters and all around trend setters will flock to the ballroom of the Graves 601 to see gorgeous Ignite models in bright spring looks from several of the Twin Cities best designers and boutiques during two high-energy runway shows.

VIP guests will enjoy a sampling of spirits and hors d'oeuvres from Twin Cities restaurants from 8:00 - 9:00 pm. At 9:00 pm doors will open for general admission. The runway show will be in two parts – the first at 10:00 pm and the second at 11:00 p.m. Throughout the entire evening there will also be a silent auction and various live art elements taking place for guests to enjoy, including an art exhibition and a collaborative live painting in the gallery by local artists.

A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales and the silent auction will benefit The Young Survival Coalition, the only international, non-profit network of breast cancer survivors and supporters dedicated to the concerns and issues that are unique to young women and breast cancer. http://www.youngsurvival.org/
