Ah,
to be young … and a Menil Contemporary! The art-loving contingent
recently gathered on the patio of Hotel ZaZa’s Monarch Lounge to
discuss the arts over hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. And talk about door
prizes — this eve boasted a custom Bryn+McKenna necklace and a private
tour given by Menil assistant curator Michelle White of the museum’s
treasure rooms (where the Warhols, Magrittes and more are stored when
not on display). Contemporarily artistic: Adrian Patterson, Ramon
Manning, Louisa Ordway, Allison Blanton Stasney and Spencer Stasney,
Menil African art curator Kristina Van Dyke, Patricia and Mike Dinh,
and Gretchen and Michael Sammons.
