2012 Power Ball: Quarter-Life Crisis @ The Power Plant

On June 14, 2012, the highly anticipated Power Ball: Quarter-Life Crisis hosted more than 1,700 guests in celebration of the The Power Plant, Canada’s leading contemporary art gallery’s 25th anniversary.

Guests experienced the opulence of Soho House first-hand at the VIP lounge and enjoyed the performance of special guest Dragonette.

The gallery featured rooms with different art installations. There was a room of geometric sculptures with red, blue and green LED lighting effects; a room with animation projected onto the walls; and a room with fortune tellers and robots.

The bar was decorated with flowers and newspapers/magazines. The ceiling hung piñatas and a swing.

Chef Marc Thuet was slicing 400 lb wild bisons open with swords on the patio, bar tenders were doing tricks with the bottles indoors.
The Perrier bar featured 2 special drinks: Greapfruit Mojito and Strawberry Basil Martini. The Grapefruit Mojito was prepared with ruby-red grapefruit segments, muddled with fresh mint, lime juice and agave syrup; the Strawberry Basil Martini was made with strawberry slices crushed with fresh basil leaves, lime juice and agave syrup. Both added with 1 ounce of SKYY Vodka and topped with Perrier. We know that a drink topped with Perrier can never go wrong.
The other bar featured a special drink prepared with Appleton Estate V/X, along with cranberry juice, a splash of ginger ale, and garnished with cranberries.

The venue was filled by fashionistas, artists, and musicians. We spotted notables including fashion designer Greta Constantine, Jeremy Laing, and Philip Sparks.
