OUR ANNUAL BRISTOR DINNER
The Arts Club of Washington presents its annual Bristor Dinner, a special evening of opera held to honor the late William “Bill” Bristor, a friend and benefactor of the club. The evening is designed as a full social occasion, beginning with cocktails, followed by an operatic performance, and concluding with dinner. It is open to Arts Club members and their guests, and attendees are encouraged to dress fashionably or in black tie optional attire.
Tickets are priced at $83 per person, with applicable DC sales tax added, and the price includes a $20 program fee.
