The Lower Delaware Autism Foundation’s Blue Jean Ball Fall Art Show is slated for Friday, Oct. 24. This year’s event will again be held at Nassau Valley Vineyards in Lewes.
The theme encourages guests to wear blue jeans and bling while enjoying an evening featuring the sale of original works of art and prints from more than 20 local artists.
The night offers a live art auction and sale, catering by Espuma Restaurant & Martini Bar and Porcini House & Treetop Lounge, open bar and the live sounds of local favorite Love Seed Mama Jump.
Many of last year’s sponsors are returning to support the event such as Brad and Laura Ritter of AAA Storage, WSFS Bank, NVHomes, Jay and Nancy Ashby, Prudential Gallo Realtors, Wilmington Trust and Mark Showell Interiors, who are all underwriting various aspects of the event.
New sponsors this year include Bellinger’s Jewelers, Ronald and Donna Coffin of Ronald Coffin Contractors, David and Lizann Dockety, Dolphin Dreaming Inc., County Bank, Delaware National Bank, Ocean Atlantic Sotheby’s International and Yellow Dog Software/Beachjobz.com. Sponsorship opportunities are still available.
Cochairs of this year’s event are Dale and Nancy Bellinger, Andrew and Julie Metz of Rehoboth Beach, and Russ and Nicole Palmer of Lewes.
“This year’s response has again been amazing,” said Nancy Bellinger. “We have broadened our art this year and we couldn’t be happier with the amount of sponsor support.”
