Affair: Asia After Dark: PEACOCKalypse with Smithsonian's Freer and Sackler Galleries
When: Saturday, June 13, 2015 @ 8PM
Hot Spot: Smithsonian's Freer and Sackler Galleries, DC
Deets: Don your finest feathers for the first Asia After Dark of 2015, the thirteenth in this series of beloved after-hours parties. Flash back to the gilded glamour of the Peacock Room and meet its alter ego Filthy Lucre, an installation by contemporary artist Darren Waterston that reimagines Whistler’s famous work as a resplendent ruin. Strut through the galleries sporting gold temporary tattoos, take offbeat tours, fashion your own masterpiece, and make fun photo-booth memories. While sipping specialty cocktails, shake a tail feather to music by activist pop rock trio BETTY and repeat the Asia After Dark mantra: Art, Drink, and Be Happy!
Asia After Dark: PEACOCKalypse is an official event of Capital Pride and the Pride in the Nation's Capital Celebration June 3-14.
Who You May Spot: Pop rock trio Betty, guests
