Prom Night at WMA’s Annual Member Party

WMA celebrated its vibrant member community with this year’s annual member party, One Night Only: Prom Night on Thursday, May 5th. Attendees enjoyed taking inspiration from the theme, wearing their favorite prom looks over the decades, and posed for classic prom photos within the museum’s galleries.

One Night Only offered members a chance to connect with each other through art and artmaking inside the museum’s transformed spaces for prom night. Guests created their own paper flower corsages and boutonnieres within the Blumberg Gallery, surrounded by works in the exhibition Exquisite Disorientation: Sarah Marshall, and enjoyed music while taking in Sonya Yong James: The Eye of a Needle and The Witch Doctor’s Chapel.

And, thanks to our community’s response to the museum’s annual member drive, this base of supporters grew even more this year, with new members joining from Dothan, Enterprise, Headland, Daleville, Troy, Slocomb, Midland City, and Port St. Joe, and Malone in Florida.

At WMA, members connect with our community at fun events, exciting exhibitions, and innovative programs, and continue to discover the art and artists of our time.
