Susannah and Seth Bame and Dana Arnold
While the rest of Dallas was putting on their jammies on Saturday, September 21, the Dallas Museum of Art’s Junior Associates were just getting things going in the DMA’s Sculpture Garden for their annual “An Affair of the Art”. And why not? Friday’s rain had blown out the heat and humidity. Here it was a perfectly clear night, except for the moon popping through the garden’s trees.
Robert Harris and “friend”
Susannah and Seth Bame had promised a Gatsby meets New York World’s Fair, and they delivered with penguins, who had to leave early, games and all types of fanciful activities and critters to raise more than $75,000 for the DMA’s teen education program. For instance, there was the monkey that hopped from Robert Harris’ arms for a photo opp to the shoulders of other guests.
And speaking of delivery, Susannah hadn’t as of Saturday. Nine months pregnant, she didn’t seem the least bit fazed.
Troy Schiermeyer and Paige Westhoff
As the band cranked things up with “Signed, Sealed and Delivered,” some guests hit the dance floor under the stars with a vengeance, while others like Paige Westhoff and Troy Schiermeyer just strolled through the garden.
Tierney Kaufman and Jarod Hutchins
As the evening wore on and some guests like Nikki and Crayton Webb headed home to relieve babysitters, others like Tierney Kaufman and Jarod Hutchins left in search of late night spots like the Rio Room to carry on the partying. One person shouted out, “How about the Ghostbar?”
Who had the heart to tell him that he had a ghost of a chance of partying there?
