On May 10th, the Museum of Modern Art will host their annual Garden Party, a fancy pants high-brow event sponsored by Cartier, includes a dinner and cocktail hour, and is held in honor of several art collectors and philanthropists. The kids go for the music though, which takes place at the afterparty and where past performers have included the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and MIA. Today there have been mumblings that Kanye West would be the sonic centerpiece this year, and it's just been confirmed. Nice curation, MoMA!
You better buy your ($150) ticket now if Ye and dinosaur-less museums are your thing. And you can rest assured that your cash will be going towards a good cause: the museum's educational programs and exhibitions. (Feeling generous?: get a $25,000 table!)
