A few weeks ago, The Alpha Workshops’ fourth annual Masquerade Ball took place at The New York Design Center in New York City.
Presented by Jim Druckman, President of The New York Design Center and Kenneth Wampler, Executive Director of The Alpha Workshops, this annual fundraising event brought together members of the design community showcasing their creativity in their costumes! From historical New York City monuments to the Marx Brothers, Fred Astaire and Judy Garland to light fixtures and cheerleaders, everyone got into the Halloween spirit and enjoyed what is now becoming a yearly anticipated event for Alpha.

The next one will be on January 27th with Jeanette Walls and Liz Smith, and the last will be held on March 23rd with Elizabeth Stout, Pulitzer Prize winning author and a Surprise Guest.
