Fantasies Take Flight

Who better to throw a costume ball than a group of about 100 artists? Once again the Jimmy Ernst Artists Alliance will parade the wildest and wackiest costumes at its Flights of Fantasy Artists Ball, to be held on Saturday from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the LTV Studios on Industrial Road in East Hampton.

The evening's candlelit decor will be enhanced by the artworks on display in the group's annual show, which runs until Nov. 25 at LTV, and by mammoth paper mobiles that will float above the dancers.

Entertainment will be provided by a professional ballroom dancing team, by a performance of the dances of India, and by a bellydancer.

A cash bar and light buffet, including desserts, will be available.

Costumes for the evening should be based on the theme "flights of fantasy." Tickets, which cost $30, are available at Book Hampton in East Hampton and Southampton and the Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor.
