Each year, we host a themed formal ball at Anime USA! For 2016, Anime USA is excited to announce our theme: East Meets West.. an intriguing blend between the Meiji era and steampunk fashion! Wear your finest kimonos or most intricate steampunk outfit, but don’t forget your dancing shoes as you’ll cha-cha, waltz, and swing your way through the night!
Anime USA is excited to partner with the DC Arts & Humanities Education Collaborative, an organization dedicated to providing access to arts and humanities education and cultural experiences for DC school children with this year’s charity auction. The Collaborative shares Anime USA’s strong belief that the arts can have a tremendous positive impact on people’s–and particularly children’s–lives. We look forward to raising money so they can continue their valuable work! Please come visit our charity auction Sunday at 1 pm in Panel 1 to contribute towards their efforts and take home some unique souvenirs of Anime USA 2016.
