advancing Arts at the Armory’s mission to provide an inclusive and accessible venue that creates opportunities for artists and cultural workers, brings diverse audiences together, enriches and transforms lives, and promotes the creative economy,” Arts at the Armory said in a statement.

General admission tickets are available for $40, however attendees can choose to sponsor an artist by purchasing "VIP Lounge" tickets for $100. Ticket purchases include access to all refreshments and glow in the dark accessories.
