IPRC Presents: The Text Ball
At The Leftbank Building, 240 N Broadway
Cocktails At 6:00 PM
Ball At 7:00 PM
The Independent Publishing Resource Center (IPRC) is happy to present The Text Ball, Portland's unique celebration of all things text, where attendees are encouraged to come dressed with text as part of their evening attire. The Text Ball will come alive with music, dancing, temporary text tattoos and text-based foods. A jury of distinguished authors, booksellers, publishers, fashion designers and artists will award prizes for the most artistic and/or grammatically correct costumes. The theme for this year's ball is “Figures of Speech.”
As a preface to the Text Ball, the IPRC will host a casual post-Wordstock cocktail hour from 6-7 p.m., including live music, snacks and a silent auction/art show. The Text Ball proper will commence at 7 p.m. and last until 11 p.m. Both the cocktail hour and Text Ball take place at the Leftbank Building, 240 North Broadway.
Tickets are $10 for IPRC members, $15 for non-members. $5 for Wordstock attendees. Students are $5. They can be purchased at the IPRC offices, the IPRC’s Wordstock booth, Reading Frenzy bookstore or at the door. Tickets are also available online at brownpapertickets.com
All proceeds from The Text Ball benefit the IPRC, a unique non-profit organization serving Portland's creative publishing community for more than a decade. For more information visit www.iprc.org or call 503.827.0249
