Dallas Contemporary Threw Quite a Party

The Dallas Contemporary commemorated its 35th birthday last weekend with a 35-hour event that included an exhibition of 35 artists and an over-the-top birthday party. Attendees included Preston Hollow residents Anne Stodghill, Charles and Joanna Teichman, and Ben and Maxine Trowbridge. But you’ve seen photos of them before; I’d rather show you pictures of the entertainment. Even though it was only four years ago, I can’t recall what my 35th birthday party was like. But I guarantee it was nothing like this.
