Latino Arts for Humanity at HighBall October 27th 2012


Since its inception, HighBall has encouraged its 20,000 costumed revelers to shine with inspired and innovative use of "glow" - LED, lasers, UV-reactive materials, electroluminescent wire and other accessories. This year, in light of the city's ongoing 200COLUMBUS celebration, organizers asked the question: "What do you get when you cross "illuminate" with "Columbus?" The answer, the event's theme... ILLUMINATUSlight up the night!



This year will feature a "Day of the Dead" celebration put on with the Latino Arts for Humanity group and Global Gallery.

We would like to thank Darsy Amaya, Heidy Amaya and Tony Molchen for their participation in the Highball 2012 where they built a Guatemalan Cemetery, designed customs, found photographers, and came up with great make up designs. 


Thanks to The executive director of the Short North Alliance John Angelo and Connie De Jong for inviting us to participate.   Here Angelo (center) Darsy Amaya event coordinator (far left), Heydi Amaya Artist and cemetery design.

HighBall Halloween began as Short North leaders brainstormed an event outside the monthly Gallery Hops and at a different time of year from other area festivals such as Comfest and Pride weekend, something to highlight those Short North characteristics such as creativity, art and diversity. 



This year Darsy Amaya worked very hard in finding volunteers for make up, she also contacted Gerardo Encinas and he took great pictures representing his own Catrina make up for Dia de los Muertos during Highball.  For all this great job done she is our Highball Star 2012!
