The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art – Party Arty 2019
Party like it’s 1799! That was the thought some guests had while dressing for Party Arty 2019. The event was held at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art on February 2nd. Young Friends of Art hosted, and the mood of extravagance and rebellion was inspired by the exhibition, Napoleon: Power and Splendor. Chelsea Templeton and Jaclyn Johnson served as co-chairmen, with Alyssa Vargas and Weston Owen as vice co-chairmen. Performers included Calvin Arsenia and members of Quixotic. Proceeds support education efforts, community outreach initiatives, and the ability to maintain free access for the more than 500,000 visitors each year.
