'Tis the season for galas we aren't fancy enough to attend but do anyway, and next up is MoMA's annual Party in the Garden, taking place on May 22nd. Last year we attended when Kanye West (along with Jay-Z) was the musical guest for the evening, and this year they've booked Santigold, who the NY Times just favorably profiled. The party is 11 days away, and there are still tickets available, which start at $150 (after party ticket) and go alllllll the way up to $100,000 (dinner table for ten).
The Santigold performance will take place during the after-party—which is held in the Museum's Terrace 5 Lounge—and the $150 price is well worth it considering you'll be enjoying an open bar from 9 p.m. to midnight.
The party is a benefit for MoMA's "general operating fund, helping to make possible the Museum's educational programs and the care, study, and exhibition of its collection." This year it will honor MoMA trustees Michael Lynne, Anna Marie Shapiro, and Edgar Wachenheim III, "in recognition of their philanthropic endeavors and contributions to the cultural community."
