As the first Friday of November approaches, we are preparing for The Blanton’s monthly Art Party “B scene”. B scene is a unique event at The Blanton. First of all, it takes place every month, so it is never far from our minds. It also spans the specific departments in the museum, so that almost every department– especially Education, Public Relations, Development, Volunteer and Visitor Services and Special Events– has to work together to make B scene a success. The community also gets involved through the huge numbers that attend and our large corps of volunteers who dedicate their time to helping us monitor the galleries and greet guests. B scene is also unique for its ever-changing program. Each month the party has a different theme with entertainment and activities to match, which can also attract different crowds. For example, the September B scene features Slam Poetry and different activities associated with poetry and art. Slam Poetry has a dedicated following and is an art form in itself, so we loved hosting all of the poets and their fans! Come to B scene this Friday at The Blanton from 6-10:30!!
