Film, Fame & 15 Minutes - 10/30/10
Forget 15 minutes, the Andy Warhol Museum is going on 15 years! More than 800 people gathered at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center to celebrate with a star-studded bash, Film, Fame & Fifteen Minutes: The Andy Warhol Museum’s 15th Anniversary Gala. After dinner, the crowd was infused with young faces and hip dance moves as the second part of the evening — a dance party DJed by Grammy-winning artist ?uestlove, the heart and soul of the Philadelphia-based hip-hop band, The Roots — got rocking. More than $500,000 was raised at the event, a portion of which will be used for the museum’s children’s educational program, Embracing the Creative Process. The museum is also celebrating its 15th anniversary with an innovative new museum exhibit, Marilyn Monroe: Life as a Legend, running through January 2.
