The Czech Center together with the +421 Foundation, the Czech Consulate General in New York, and the Consulate General of Slovakia in New York are organizing the annual Velvet Revolution Party to commemorate the anniversary of the fall of communism in former Czechoslovakia in November 1989.

The party will take place at New York’s most prestigious Chelsea’s Mansion Club.

The program includes a live acrobatic performance by the Slovak dance ensemble Argolla Productions, music by top Czech DJ Michael Burian, and a silent auction featuring the work of Czech and Slovak visual artists followed by a dance party.
The Velvet Revolution Party is to benefit the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library that has been affected by the devastating blow of massive flooding in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
