The Splendour of Art And Fashion at The AGO Art Bash: Baroque Ball
Even the most sophisticated art lovers wouldn’t be able to remain unimpressed by this year’s AGO Art Bash. With Baroque Ball as the theme of the evening, the Art Gallery of Ontario was transformed into the extravagant and flamboyant world of the seventeenth-century baroque, where guests had a chance to wear the most dramatic and theatrical costumes highlighting the grandeur and the exuberance of this historical period. From floral hats and starched wigs to elaborately ornamented gowns, the attending philanthropists, business leaders and art lovers paid the tribute to one of the most prominent art periods in history.
Not only Art Bash is one of the most anticipated events in the city, but it is also the most important fundraiser for the AGO, where the proceeds support the AGO’s mission to bring people together with artto see, experience and understand the world in new ways. With RBC as the main sponsor of the event and Sonja Berman and Dean Bender as its co-chairs, this year’s Art Bash presented the following artists and their work: Alan Anderson, Stephan Caras and Kyriako Caras, Briony Douglas, Emily Filler, Mani Jassal, Shellie Zhang. Combining exquisite fashion, beautiful florals, live performances, music, and, of course, art this event was definitely one for the books.
