Arts Gowanus announces Patterns Gala
PARK SLOPE-GOWANUS — The famous Metropolitan Museum of Art proved that fashion galas are good for fundraising. Arts Gowanus is following suit for its second year with what it calls the Patterns Gala. Instead of the marble steps of the Metropolitan Museum, the Patterns Gala will be providing the red carpet treatment at the historic Old Stone House on May 12.
This outdoor event will be held from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Attendees are strongly encouraged to wear the craziest patterns they can — there will be art, food, drink, live music, raffles, and more. Ticket price is $125.
The gala is critical for supporting Arts Gowanus’ advocacy and programming. Over the next few years, Arts Gowanus needs to dramatically grow its infrastructure before taking stewardship of 28,000-square feet of affordable studio space and a community center that the organization negotiated as part of the Gowanus rezoning plan.
