Hosted by Alex and Ani, the Winter Bash had a theme of “Glitz & Glamour: a speakeasy affair” and saw guests attend in 1920s, prohibition-era costumes. A vintage car, preserved by Newport-based Audrain Auto Museum, was parked outside the venue and guests were serenaded by big-band music from Miss Kleyla & the Italians and Providence Swings to set the mood.
The volunteer event committee was co-chaired by Michael Plourde and Christina Robbio.
In addition to Alex and Ani, the 2018 Winter Bash was made possible by PPS Partners in Preservation: Armory Revival Co., Bank of America, Bank Rhode Island, Duffy & Sweeney, Gilbane, Restivo Monacelli, Site Specific and VHB. Supporting sponsors included Churchill & Banks, Hilb Group, Mojotech, Northeast Collaborative Architects, Parsons Capital Management, TRAC Builders, Virgin Pulse, Frank DeAngelis and Melissa Trapp, and David Smith and Matt Karimi.
