International pop/club superstar Amber will headline the entertinament at this year's annual Night In White event, which will be at The Factory in Franklin and carry a "Gotham" theme.

Nashville CARES’ Night in White, has been called one of Nashville’s premier dance parties. GOTHAM is a brand new concept for Night In White (NIW), Nashville CARES’ annual dance benefit and thank you party for the GLBT community and friends.

The party will feature international pop/club superstar AMBER, guest DJs COOLOUT and STRANGELY FAMILIAR MUSIC CLUB, and an amazing line up of performance art entertainers including RTHM: REAL TIME HAND MOTION and choreography by CHRIS WHITMIRE—all set in Liberty Hall, a newly refurbished turn of the century industrial plant. GOTHAM is presented by BLAVOD EXTREME SPIRITS.

In addition to great music, food and entertainment, GOTHAM will feature a special collaborative silent auction with upstart artist co-op PLOWHAUS. Sales of art donated by some of Nashville’s best artists will benefit both Nashville CARES and Plowhaus; other auction items (including travel, home and garden, spa and beauty items) will benefit Nashville CARES.

Night in White began as a modest gathering in the backyard of long-time Nashville CARES supporter Tommy Lawson. The event was (and is) a “thank you” to the gay and lesbian community (and friends) for their support of, and contributions to, Nashville CARES events and programs.

“This event has evolved into quite a celebration – it has definitely outgrown my backyard,” said Lawson, Night In White’s honorary chairperson emeritus. “I am thankful, though, that it has remained true to its original spirit. Night in White is a social event that is accessible to the entire community. It is affordable and fun and still manages to raise money for a very important cause.”

There will not be another party like this one all year! Tickets are limited; last year’s Zootopia event was a sellout and folks were turned away at the door—so get your tickets now!
