NICK APPEARANCES.....ARTrageous! 2010 at the Smithsonian American Art Museum Washington DC

Guess who is coming back to Washington DC next week? Yes, moi! I first visited Washington DC during the Obama Inaugural in January 2009, to host an Inaugural luncheon and showcase my "First lady" inspired gowns and late last year I returned... to do a speaking engagement at the prestigious Corcoran Gallery of Art-College of Art and Design. Both were great successes. I guess Washington DC really likes Nick Verreos (sorry about the Third Person), because next week, I will be flying to DC to attend ARTrageous! 2010, a fabulous fundraiser and party (and a must-have ticket on the DC social calendar!) at the Smithsonian Art Museum. The event is NEXT SATURDAY FEBRUARY 27Th and by attending, you will be supporting family and public programs at the Museum and its Renwick Gallery (love that!). This year’s ARTrageous! will also celebrate fashion to highlight recently acquired artwork, Reclining Dress Impression with Drapery, by Karen LaMonte. LaMonte’s sensual life-size cast-glass dresses invoke the history of fashion and femininity, from classical Greece to contemporary America. This piece will definitely set the stage for a fashionable and fun night. Hope to see you there! Schedule: 7:00-9:00pm Special Dinner with artist Karen LaMonte and designer Nick Verreos 8:00-11:30pm Gala Reception with live music Where: Smithsonian American Art Museum 8th & F Streets, NW, Washington D.C. When: Saturday February 27, 2010 For Tickets: Purchase tickets below, or call (202) 633-4550 for assistance. To purchase Tickets click HERE
