Every year, hundreds of young art collectors and enthusiasts gather for a night of delectable dishes, fine champagne and dancing. For this year’s occasion, the dinner took place in the famous “Whale Room”. Following dinner, guests relocated to the  planetarium for dancing. The planetarium was transformed into a upscale club scene with the use of lights and of course, a DJ. DJ JUS SKE moved the crowd with a mix of pop, old school r&b, and dance music. Everyone seemed in good cheer as they danced the night away. Until next year…#BeLuxe
