The third annual Arnold Party is upon us

What promises to be one of the most glamourous nights of the season, this Thursday, the elegant Bronfman Hall at the Royal Ontario Museum will be void of little ones on school visits and instead filled with over 500 sleek and stylish guests of the Business for the Arts “Arnold Party” gala.

Guests will be fitted in their 1960’s inspired Manhattan chic best as the party draws on the Mad Men theme. Expect handsome gents in well tailored suits, scotch, cocktail dresses and peep toed shoes.

Named after the Arnold Edinborough Award, the annual party is a celebration of young volunteers in the arts. The 2010 award recipient, Mélanie Joly of Montreal, is the event’s guest of honour.

Canadian media icon and funny-woman, Hilary Doyle, will act as MC for the event as well as preview her new show Stock & Awe (soon to launch on the Business News Network, this year’s Arnold Party new media sponsor).

In true 60’s style, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be served as guests survey the crowd for a glimpse of the night’s celebrities and more importantly, to find their very own John Hamm or Christina Hendricks.

To set the mood, the soundtrack of the evening will be appropriately jazzy featuring some of Toronto’s top talents like Elise Legrow, Dave Statham, Barbra Lica and the Made in Canada Quintet.

Get your tickets now and then all you have to worry about is what 60’s inspired drink you’re going to have at the party. So will it be a Dirty Martini or a Brandy Alexander?
