• Event Title:BOMB Magazine’s 37th Anniversary Gala & Auction
• Event Description:BOMB Magazine was launched in 1981 because its founders––NYC artists and writers––wanted to publish conversations that reflected the way practitioners spoke about their work among themselves. As a result, BOMB reinvented the interview as a dialogue between artists about the creative process. BOMB’s method changed the nature of cultural discourse; the artist’s voice is now at its center. Today, BOMB has transformed into a multi-platform publishing house that creates and disseminates artist-generated content. This revelatory discourse extends from our 90 contributing editors (all practicing artists) and 400 annual contributors to our 1.5 million online readers. Half of these readers are under the age of 30 and use the ideas and history encapsulated in BOMB to make their own creative leaps. All of BOMB’s content from 1981 onward—over 7,000 primary cultural documents—is available for FREE at bombmagazine.org.

Frieze Art Fair New York May 3-6. View and buy art from more than 1,000 of today’s leading artists and experience a curated program of talks and new artist commissions.

Coming to Frieze New York 2018, Frame section: Château Shatto presents a new suite of paintings by New York-based artist, Van Hanos.

Randall’s Island Park (3.05 mi)
New York, New York

Frieze Art Fair is an international contemporary art fair that takes place every October in London’s Regent’s Park. The fair is staged by Amanda Sharp and Matthew Slotover, the publishers of frieze magazine. Frieze Art Fair features more than 170 contemporary art galleries, and the fair also includes specially commissioned artists’ projects, a talks programme and an artist-led education schedule.

Frieze Art Fair New York May 3-6

Since 2014, the magazine has also been running a New York edition, on Randall’s Island

Frieze Art Fair New York May 3-6. Discover the world’s leading contemporary and modern galleries at three leading international art fairs in London and New York. View and buy art from more than 1,000 of today’s leading artists and experience a curated program of talks and new artist commissions. Find us next in New York from 3-6 May and London from 4-7 October 2018.

Although staged for the purpose of selling work, the fair has become a cultural entertainment event and out of its 68,000 visitors^[2] it has been suggested that 80% attend purely to spectate.^[3] The fair also commissions artist projects and holds a programme of talks.

Frieze Art Fair released sales figures following the first three fairs. However, Sharp and Slotover came to regard such results to be misleading and inaccurate, as many sales are completed post-fair, and many galleries choose to keep their sales figures private. From 2006 the fair has not released sales figures.^[2]

In 2008, Deutsche Bank was the main sponsor of Frieze Art Fair for the fifth consecutive year.

In 2010, Matthew Slotover, co-founder of the fair, debated whether “art fairs are about money” with Louisa Buck,Matthew Collings, and Jasper Joffe for the motion and against the motion Norman Rosenthal, Richard Wentworth, Matthew Slotover.^[4] Joffe claims that his criticisms of Frieze Art Fair led to his work being banned from the fair in 2010.

THE MET Costume Institute GALA 2018 Theme ‘Fashion and Religion’ — & It Might Be Controversial

The 2018 Met Gala will take place on Monday 7 May at its usual location at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The event – which first began back in 1948 – is now one of the most glamorous on the A-list calendar and often dubbed ‘the Oscars of fashion’.

With only a few months to go until the red carpet is rolled out and with the theme already revealed, we are rounding up everything we have gleaned so far about the biggest night on the fashion calendar.

‘Fashion and Religion’ will be the focus of next year’s exhibit and gala, according to multiple sources. The museum has not officially confirmed the news yet, but the idea for the project reportedly came about well before the current exhibit, “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: The Art of the In-Between” opened.

Many designers including Dolce & Gabbana, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Jeremy Scott have referenced religion in their collections over the years, which means there’s a vast array of religious-inspired looks to potentially be curated.

According to WWD’s sources, the exhibition is still in the early stages of planning, but it will be a “serious and ambitious” project. This means the Met Gala red carpet will follow suit, which should prove interesting for the tricky, potentially controversial theme.

The 2018 Met Gala Theme Is Here — & It Might Be Controversial

Just like a prayer, we can often feel fashion’s power. And we trust that it will take us there (if only to rack up those likes on our latest outfit ‘gram). The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute is apparently keeping the faith, too, and is rumored to be further exploring the connection between the two: According to Women’s Wear Daily, planning is in the very early stages for what will be a fashion and religion-themed exhibit, an idea that’s reportedly been in the works long before its current exhibit, “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: The Art of the In-Between,” went on view.
Luckily, there won’t be shortage of inspired pieces for curator Andrew Bolton to pull from: Designers like Jean Paul Gaultier, Christopher Kane, and Dolce & Gabbana have each referenced religion in their collections. The latter, specifically, isn’t one to to shy away from its Catholic roots: It’s used crosses, Madonnas, and other Biblical iconography in much of its work.
If this exhibit does actually come to fruition, we’re excited to see how some of our favorite celebrities tackle the theme on the First Monday in May at the Met Gala. Seriously: Can’t you already picture how literal the designer tributes would be? Here’s hoping Rihanna — whose reign as queen of the red carpet has yet to disappoint — comes dressed as the high priestess of fashion she already is, and that appropriation of religious imagery is far and few between.
We asked The Metropolitan Museum of Art for more information and were told, “We have no comment as we have not yet announced The Costume Institute spring 2018 exhibition and gala, but will be sure to let you know when we do.”

The event is expected to be as star-studded as ever, with a Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons theme (being referred to as an “Avant-garde” theme for those clueless in the world of designer fashion) that’s sure to inspire over-the-top outfits costing thousands upon thousands.

But what many forget about the Met Gala is that its more than just a red carpet wonderland — It’s, you know, an actual gala that you can buy actual tickets for.

So, think you can just splurge on a ticket after a few months of saving and land yourself a seat next to Beyonce and the Kardashians?

Think again.  Let’s start with ticket price. Have an extra $30,000 lying around? Great, you’re in luck!

But if you want to sit with a group of your closest friends who also happen to have a spare $30,000 to blow on a night out, it’ll cost you $275,000.

But hey, more than a quarter of a million dollars is so worth it for an unforgettable night, right?

So now you’ve managed to afford your ticket — but that’s only where the expenses begin.

First, you’ll need a top-of-the-line outfit that plays into the year’s theme, (Past themes have included “Punk: Chaos to Couture” and”China: Through the Looking Glass”) of course.

And whether you’re male or female, you better believe you’ll have to be groomed in much more than your Sunday best — so let’s factor in expenses for your hairstylist, make up artist, aesthetician for things such as nails and waxing and of course, accessories — Whether it’s diamonds for days or cufflinks that stun.

Lastly, you’re going to have to figure out how you’re getting there and back — and no, a standard yellow cab or Uber isn’t going to work for an event of this caliber.

Say hello to a car service which will charge you hourly on top of a base rate for the evening.

When all is said and done, according to Refinery29, we’re looking at an estimated total of $62, 215 for what might (actually for that price, better be) end up being the best night of your life.

But wait — there’s more, because it’s the Met Gala so of course there is.

Even if you manage to collect enough money for a ticket and all the necessary glam expenses that surround it, you’re still not guaranteed entry.

Get an inside look at the Met Gala including all of the red carpet dresses. Watch your favorite celebrities as they pose for photographers in the latest fashions from top designers in this exclusive video from The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Fashion’s Biggest Night with the Biggest Stars.
This year’s event celebrates the opening of the exhibition Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art from May 4 to September 4, 2017

American Ballet Theatre (ABT) is a classical ballet company based in New York City. It has an annual eight-week season at the Metropolitan Opera House (Lincoln Center) in the spring and a shorter season at the David H. Koch Theater in the fall; the company tours around the world the rest of the year. ABT was founded in 1939 by Lucia Chase and Richard Pleasant and is recognized as one of the world’s leading classical ballet companies. ABT is the parent company of the American Ballet Theatre Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School, and was recognized as “America’s National Ballet Company” in 2006 by the United States Congress

Mikhail Baryshnikov in 1980 became Artistic Director for American Ballet Theatre. Baryshnikov staged, restaged, and refurbished numerous classical ballets and, according to the company, strengthened their classical tradition. Baryshnikov was replaced in 1989 by Jane Hermann and Oliver Smith, who remained as Artistic Directors until 1992, when Kevin McKenzie received the appointment. McKenzie satisfied the demands of the traditional ballet audience by prioritizing full-length narrative ballets. He also succeeded in keeping the company afloat during financially unstable times. In 2004 he established an official associate ballet school, theJacqueline Kennedy Onassis School. After a long period of no in-house choreographer, McKenzie appointedAlexei Ratmansky as “Artist in Residence” in January 2009

Hampton Classic 2018 August 26 – September 2 As one of the largest outdoor horse shows in the United States, and a premier destination for horse people, the Classic is a much-anticipated stop on the summer tour. Now well into its third successful decade, The Hampton Classic Horse Show is in a class all its own, both in the minds of spectators and horse people alike.

In 2009, the Hampton Classic became only the second horse show ever to receive the status of Heritage Competition by the United States Equestrian Federation.  This prestigious status is reserved for competitions that have been in existence for at least 25 years and have provided for their communities as well as the horse community as a whole in an unprecedented fashion.

At the Classic, you will see some of the top jumper riders from around the world, coming to compete for some of the richest prize money offered in this country.

Hampton Classic 2018 August 26 – September 2

There is also no shortage of stiff competition in the Hunter Divisions. In the four classic grass rings you will find all skill levels competing, from smallest of ponies to the most seasoned professional riders.  The final weekend’s Hunter Classics bring out the best of the best.

Opening Sunday, on the beautiful grass of the Grand Prix Ring, you will find probably the tensest competition all week, the infamous Hampton Classic Leadline.  Dozens upon dozens of ponies parade their riders, judged by Olympic Gold medalist Joe Fargis, while their proud parents and grandparents watch nervously from the V.I.P. tents.

The Hampton Classic Horse Show is always a grand way to end the summer. Held in high regard by the horse community, famous for its Hamptons Celebrity sightings, and second to none in high end shopping boutiques, it earns its nickname The Classic.
