Pérez Art Museum Miami’s Art of the Party
Miami, FL – March 4, 2016 – More than 800 cultural philanthropists, artists, civic leaders and arts supporters attended Pérez Art Museum Miami’s third Annual PAMM Art of the Party gala. The event, which had its highest attendance to date, raised more than $1 million for the museum’s robust education program, the largest outside the Miami-Dade County school system. The highly anticipated evening, conceptualized by Lee Brian Schrager, featured three exclusive experiences – Chef’s Table seated dinner, Supper Club lounge and Remix after party – with delicious dishes created by chef, author and Food Network personality Alex Guarnaschelli. Pérez Art Museum Miami Director Franklin Sirmans honored Chuck Close, one of the most celebrated and influential artists of our time, at the Chef’s Table seated dinner. The museum holds three examples of Close’s work in its permanent collection and in 2004, the museum presented the exhibition Chuck Close Prints: Process and Collaboration, which explored the artist’s innovative approach to printmaking. Simultaneously in the museum’s second-floor special exhibition galleries, Supper Club partygoers enjoyed a chic and provocative setting with live sets by DJ DZA and interactive art stations, including digital sketch artists and a wall to ceiling coloring book. As the party started winding down, guests were led to the Remix after party by a seven-piece band. Remix quickly came to life with dance throwbacks by DJ Jessica Who, keeping guests dancing under the stars until the early hours of the morning.
