MASSIVE is back at the AGO! For one night, the sprawling venue is filled with ready-to-party and glammed out young professionals for a memorable Thursday evening- and one of the most coveted charity events of the year. Co-chairs Laura Adams and Marie Corsini will welcome an expected 1,800 partygoers to the AGO for the 9th year of Massive Party – this year titled Massive Party GOLD. We couldn’t be more excited with the theme, and the outfit choices it will surely inspire. Speaking of inspire, Artists like Johnny Cash, Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons and Gustav Klimt have all played with different notions of gold. Gold can symbolize power, strength, wealth, happiness, love, perfection, intelligence and the sun.
For Massive Party 2013, Toronto YP, Justin Broadbent – Massive Party Artistic Director – will explore this precious, sought after metal that has enthralled humanity since the beginning of time. Party-goers will enjoy installations and performances by artists who have been inspired by all things GOLD including Thrush Holmes, Tibi Tibi Neuspiel & Geoffrey Pugen, Mango Peeler, Mahmood Popal and Jade Rude. DJ Mensa, Felix & Gani (milk.), Your Boy Brian and a live performance by Maylee Todd will get the gold-clad partygoers on the dance floor with their mash-ups of golden oldies and current tunes. Tickets include open bar, hors d’oeuvres, entertainment and contemporary art installations. Funds raised through Massive Party will help the AGO continue to deliver ambitious education and exhibition programs.
