The 2nd Annual GLBT Viewing and Cocktail Reception at the Met

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Fifth Avenue at 82nd Street

Wed July 22, 2009, 6:30pm-8:30pm

UPDATED RSVP INFORMATION:  Please note that the rsvp list for this event is FULL.  We are accepting names on the waiting list, but note that as of 7/19/09 there are 721 on the waiting list.  If you would like to join the waiting list please go to http://waitinglistmetevent.eventbrite.com/

Featuring a fabulous Cocktail Reception in the Grand Hall (Open Bar courtesy of our kind friends at the Met) and private viewings of:

• The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion
• Francis Bacon: A Centenary Retrospective

This will be a remarkable opportunity to view these incredible exhibitions and to hob nob with other GLBT folks who love art. Plus, the Met's Membership team will be on hand to help you join the Met. Once you see this great work, I have a strong hunch that you will want to be a Member.
