Break out the Girl Scouts cookies and bonfire songs. The Art Production Fund held a camp-themed gala at the Pool and the Grill on March 15, complete with slushy machines, chicken fingers, lobster rolls and bags of Lay’s potato chips served on fine china. The art and fashion crowd embraced the dress code with gusto, showing up in camouflage jumpsuits, badge-covered sashes and arm floaties.
And the School of American Ballet held a black-tie winter gala on March 13 at Lincoln Center. Dancers toyed with gender roles by pairing tuxedos with high heels. Cocktails and dinner, which featured a pièce d’occasion performed by students, were followed by dancing.
