What a party was the party named the pARTy!
This year, the annual gala to support Phoenix Art Museum changed its timing from October to March 22 to coincide with the opening of the Hollywood Costume Exhibition. Moving the date was just the ticket, as a full house of guests enthusiastically enjoyed the exhibit of approximately 100 costumes from 100 years of movies. Among those viewing the exhibition was honored guest and star of 101 Dalmatians and Fatal Attraction Glenn Close. The exhibition is on display through July 6. Phoenix Art Museum is the only museum west of the Mississippi to host it.
Following the cocktail hour, partygoers walked the red carpet to a tented structure across the parking lot, where Mark Karp of Angelic Grove had beautifully created the look of a glamorous supper club. In addition to the lavish center tables dressed in rich tones of black, red and gold, black banquettes lined the sides of the structure. Overhead, the ceiling was draped in red swags, and long, shimmering hangings added the sizzle.
The James Gang band out of LA kept guests on their feet before and after dinner – the chateaubriand had the starring role – was served by M Catering.
Erin Gogolak chaired the pARTy 2014.
