Art Prom: A Benefit for the Somerville Arts Council & Arts at the Armory June 5, 2010

About the Event:
Forget about the train wrecks of past proms—lousy limo rides, ripped dresses, bad dates, lurking chaperones. This prom is going to be, like, way different and totally awesome. For starters, you don’t have to wait for that dreamy jock or fox from yearbook committee to invite you. We’re inviting you! Come on out and bust a move as DJ Brother Cleve spins classic prom tunes spanning the genres—disco, new wave, hip hop, rock and power ballads—and including gems like Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind and Fire and Ice, Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice. In between sets, Thru the Keyhole Burlesque will perform a few prom-themed numbers. There will also be plenty of art-promish activities and events like a dress-up photo booth, a slide show of old prom photos and a make-your-own prom crown table (don’t wait for someone to crown you, crown yourself!). So dust off that powder-blue tux. Unearth that old Gunny Saxdress. Or better yet, fashion some new outlandishly creative prom attire! Trophies will be given for “Best TraditionalProm Dress,” “Wackiest Cumberbund” and several other categories. Don’t miss this opportunity to re-write prom history—and help support two great local art organizations while you’re at it!
