Sunday in Color: An Afternoon of Art & Conversation at The Beverly Hills Hotel

Join **Women of Culture, CURA Art and Ackerman Studios** on **Sunday June 7th** for a private, invitation-only afternoon of art, culture, and connection at the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel. **[To attend, complete registration here](https://luma.com/lfzn6c8i)** ​This special Los Angeles gathering will feature a curator-led walk-through of ***Susan Vecsey and Yvonne Thomas: [A Conversation on Color](https://www.dorchestercollection.com/los-angeles/the-beverly-hills-hotel/art?utm_source=luma)*** with The Beverly Hills Hotel curators **Lily Ackerman** of Ackerman Studios and **Liza Shapiro** of CURA Art. Presented by Berry Campbell Gallery in collaboration with CURA Art and Ackerman Studios, the exhibition brings together two extraordinary artists across generations in a striking exploration of color, abstraction, mood, and visual rhythm. ​Blending Susan Vecsey’s luminous, meditative compositions inspired by landscape and light with Yvonne Thomas’ bold and expressive postwar abstractions, the exhibition creates a fascinating dialogue between contemporary and historic approaches to color and form. Guests will gain unique insight into the artistic vision behind the exhibition while experiencing the works in an intimate and conversational setting usually reserved only for hotel guests. ​Following the tour, we’ll gather for drinks and bites on the hotel grounds — an elegant and timeless backdrop for meaningful conversation, new connections, and a quintessential Los Angeles afternoon. ​Thoughtfully curated for women who love art, beauty, design, and intellectually enriching experiences, this event offers the perfect blend of cultural discovery and social connection. ​**What makes it special:** * ​A rare opportunity to experience a private, curator-led walkthrough of a stunning exhibit set in an iconic location * ​An intimate, invitation-only opportunity to meet fellow intellectually curious women with a creative soul ​**Event Details:** Sunday, June 7th **3:00 PM** \| Private Exhibition Tour **4:00 PM** \| Drinks\, bites & conversation on the hotel grounds ​**Location:** the Beverly Hills Hotel 9641 Sunset Boulevard \| Beverly Hills\, CA **[To attend, complete registration here](https://luma.com/lfzn6c8i)** **Admission:** Complimentary to attend by invitation only. *One complimentary welcome drink included; all additional drinks and food to be purchased and paid separately on-site.* **Note about tickets/ RSVP's:** * RSVPs on Meetup do NOT count as official registrations for this event, and the RSVP count on Meetup may not reflect the actual number of attendees.

Oscar Wilde: Gowns in Miniature

Come join me at the Clark Library (one of my happy places, LOL) for an exhibition of mini gowns created by UCLA MFA costume design students! It's an excellent opportunity to visit the Clark, which usually requires an appointment.The registration link is below. It's free of charge but requires advance registration. The Clark has one of the most comprehensive collections on Oscar Wilde in the world. From the Clark Library's announcement website: "Join us to celebrate Oscar Wilde, the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, and the David C. Copley Center for Costume Design at an event featuring eight exquisite half-scale gowns created by UCLA MFA costume designers. Mentored by costume designer, historian, and Distinguished Professor Deborah Nadoolman Landis, PhD (Director, David C. Copley Center for Costume Design), MFA costume designers conducted research in the Oscar Wilde collection at the Clark Library and designed costumes for *The Importance of Being Earnest*, *A Woman of No Importance*, *An Ideal Husband*, and *Lady Windermere’s Fan*. Design sketches and briefs, costume history, and mood boards will be presented alongside the gowns at this gathering commemorating our collaboration." [Please register at the Clark Library website](https://www.1718.ucla.edu/events/gowns-mini/). Space is limited and I can't guarantee walk in registration will be available. Hope to see you there!
