About The Program

Join us for the grand finale of our spring exhibition, Mr. Society of 23, with a fabulous evening of dress-up, music, and dance in a kitschy nostalgic atmosphere inspired by the aesthetic of Jeffrey Augustine Songco. Sip on spiked punch and get down to throwback tunes, while mingling with the artist on the very last night to experience the exhibition. Late night party snacks and pizza by the slice provided by Pizza Quest when you need to refuel your dance moves. Fun and fancy dress-up is not only welcome, but highly encouraged! This is a party you won’t want to miss.
