Summer months are often the hardest time to draw a crowd, especially a crowd situated so close to, yet so far from, the beach; but we did! Last night Members’ Evening at the DCCA drew in a diverse group to join us for this family-oriented event. Kids rushed through the galleries trying to identify the works different image details were taken from as part of a scavenger hunt designed by Jane Chesson and the education department. Just like any other day, prizes were given to all those who completed the hunt. And with crafts, fresh cotton candy, and icees available there were lots of treats to choose from.
Other, more experienced visitors, enjoyed the company, a few drinks and a great spread of food. Susan Isaacs spoke about the works on view, leading a large crowd through the galleries. My husband and son joined me for quick bite to eat, a beer for one and an apple on a stick (which is what my almost two year old child called the cotton candy) for the other. He loved the pixel-lapse photo booth and Joseph Barbaccia’s bright Eight Currents installation. It was a great night out of the heat amid art-lovers, supporters and makers!
Right now set-up is in progress for a Double Take: A Green Fashion & Art Event which will take place tomorrow night from 6-10pm. Presented by Pieces of Me Entertainment; the event will feature a runway presentation showcasing recycled clothes, group performances, an organic wine tasting and more! Nike will be hosting its Reuse a Shoe program at the event. They’re hoping to collect 200 pairs of old Nikes! Donations of all gently used shoes and clothing will be accepted.
Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door, $40 for VIP, price includes reserved seating, complimentary drink and gift bag!
