The Delaware Art Museum Board of Trustees and Executive Director Molly Giordano cordially invite you to Flappers & Fedoras, a fundraiser celebrating our new exhibition, Jazz Age Illustration. Be transported to the iconic Jazz Age with an unforgettable night of era-inspired music, dancing, food, and drink. Dress in your finest Jazz Age attire and join us for a dazzling evening of elegance and nostalgia—all in support of DelArt.

Begin your night indulging in Jazz Age-era food and specialty cocktails, like the classic Bee’s Knees, while enjoying the smooth jazz piano tunes of Paul Boris. The evening will feature an exclusive performance by five-time Ukrainian National Champions, Denis Parfyonov and Tetiana Sopit, from the BlueBallRoom Dance Studio. Afterward, dance the night away to the vibrant sounds of the Gerald Chavis Jazz Band. Cap the night with desserts from Bing’s Bakery. The event will also feature a silent auction and the Jazz Age Illustration gallery will be open for viewing. It’s an unforgettable night you won’t want to miss!

BlueBallRoom Dance Studio is hosting an exciting group dance workshop on Saturday, November 2, to get you ready to shine on the dance floor at Flappers & Fedoras. In just 90 minutes, you’ll master the Swing, Foxtrot, and Charleston. Learn more.
