Members' Holiday Met and Networking Luncheon

Member Event: DG Arts Members Holiday afternoon at the Met Museum with Gala Networking Luncheon.

We will do a tour of the new Costume Institute Exhibition, In America: A Lexicon of Fashion, followed by an optional festive luncheon with wine* (*it's on us!) at the Carlyle Hotel.

About the Exhibit: This year’s Met Costume Institute exhibition is a reflection of the current state of culture: anchored in activism, informed by technology and led by gen Z. The exhibition—which the Guardian called “the most politically charged fashion exhibition ever staged by a major museum”—celebrates diversity and takes a lens to the controversy of American identity. Nearly half of the exhibits are by designers of color, the highest percentage of any Costume Institute ensemble show.

Date: Monday, December 13th, 2021
Time: 11:30am-4:00pm, with lunch at 1:30pm
Place: 1000 5th Ave @82nd st. and 35 E 76th Street New York, NY
Price to members: Free; museum entry and luncheon are to be paid by members directly to the establishments.

Note: Due to COVID precautions, space is limited. In accordance with New York City mandate, all visitors age 12 and older must be vaccinated against COVID-19. The Excelsior Pass, NYC COVID SAFE app, or physical vaccination card must be shown for entry to all museums and restaurants. Masks are required for all visitors.
