This Bar Saves Lives hosted its first “This Party Saves Lives” as a tie-in to World Food Day in Los Angeles in October. As guests arrived, they were given a box that would later be filled with food and delivered to a child. Guests were asked to place a box near a wall at the end of the night, and the boxes ultimately formed a thematic mural by California artist Jules Muck.
To honor its uptown home of 48 years, the historic Breuer building, the Whitney Museum of American Art threw a packing party of sorts for the 2014 gala on November 19. The cocktail and studio party decor included a bar and cocktail tables constructed from repurposed shipping crates—some were authentic crates from the museum, others were newly manufactured for the event.
Several Miami properties hosted arty events surrounding Art Basel Miami Beach. The Teepee Project, featuring two 22-foot hand-painted teepees by artists Jen Stark and Misaki Kawai, were on display at Mondrian South Beach from December 2 to 14. The hotel launched the project with a dinner party on the property.
