DRESS CODE

The dress is black-tie formal with a surrealist twist. The 2025 Gala celebrates the Currier’s latest exhibition, Nicolas Party and Surrealism: An Artist’s Take on the Movement. Draw inspiration from the bold use of color, texture, and shape of art in the exhibition, from Nicolas Party’s murals to Eileen Agar’s, Self-Portrait. Thinking outside the box encouraged.
