What: The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston toast to the museum’s 70th anniversary gala

Where: The Webster in The Galleria

PC Moment: The buzz was not only on the “Freeze Frame” themed gala, set for April 12, but also on the fact that the hip boutique is donating to CAMH 10 percent of sales from this night and from ballet patrons making purchases up until the soirée. Other fun facts emerging on this evening: Bergner & Johnson will once again handle the creative decor; Christie’s Steve Zick will serve as auctioneer and the After Party returns.

Helming the trés chic bash are chairs Haydeh and Ali Davoudi along with Jordan and Dylan Seff, who started the partying early with champagne toasts all around. Taylor Landry is chairing the young professional-infused After Party.

PC Seen: CAMH board chair Jereann Chaney, Erica and Benjy Levit, Ceron, Melissa Mithoff, Angela Fabbri, Julie Kuo, Sverre and Carrie Brandsberg-Dahl, Andrea and Donny Blanton, Brianna Mills, Claudia Solis, Vanessa Ramirez, Patricia Restrepo, and Natalie Svacina.
