Blanton B scene: Festive Art

Don your most festive outfit and head over to the Blanton for tonight's Winter Formal B scene. This edition of the museum's monthly art party will feature musical entertainment by Austin's own Karaoke Apocalypse, the live karaoke back-up band, and of course, you on vocals. Event organizers are encouraging attendees to wear their "best - or worse - evening wear and dance the night away". We're busting out every bejeweled Christmas tree item of clothing we can find. The Reflex DJs will be spinning tunes throughout the night, and admission includes gallery tours, art activities, and appetizers. A cash bar will be set up and serving, among other things, Blantinis.

This B scene will be the first since the museum opened the Smith Building next door to the gallery space. If you haven't been to the Blanton recently, the new building hosts the museum's cafe and expanded gift shop, as well as classroom spaces and an auditorium. Currently on view in the galleries are Reimagining Space and The New York Graphic Workshop. Both shows deal with innovative art and design that came out of New York in the 1960s.

Tickets to B scene are available online or at the museum. Admission to the event costs $5 for museum members and $10 for the general public.

Reimagining Space and The New York Graphic Workshop run through January 18th, 2009 at the Blanton Museum of Art.
