Inspired by the 1972 Rothschild surrealist dinner party, the event aims to “bridge the gap between local business magnates and creatives” and raise money to support the second annual Reno InstaGrammys, a photography and video competition for all ages. The black-tie formal ball features music, art, drinks, a silent auction and more. Guests are encouraged to wear surrealist masks. The event is open to those age 21 and older. The party will start at 9 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 13, at Reno Provisions, 100 N. Sierra St. Tickets are $50. VIP tickets are $100. Visit www.illuminatiball.com.
