Fancy hats and the future of art: Go inside last night’s Massive Party at the AGO! | Hollywood yohana
Art lovers and party enthusiasts alike flocked to the Art Gallery of Ontario last night for its eighth annual Massive Party fundraiser. Spread throughout many of the gallery’s floors, guests mingled among works of art from the AGO’s collection and special exhibits that played off the party’s theme of “LIGHT SOUND OBJECT PAST PRESENT FUTURE.” While this message was projected as part of a light show on the very-coveted third floor, it might not have resonated with all the guests. “I think the theme is high school?” one attendee said after getting pinned with a “2nd Place” ribbon by a team of mock cheerleaders dressed in blue and white. (Their cheer? “Second is the new first!”)
Guests who may have been dismayed by the long wait for an elevator ride to the third floor still had plenty to do underneath Frank Gehry’s spiral staircase. The must-do of the night was a tableau-style mock-Victorian photobooth filled with props that rivalled even the most over-the-top artistic ensembles. If last night was any proof, fancy headwear is certainly still in style!
