Photos: The Red Party

Check out scenes from the January 31, 2018, event at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.


On Wednesday, January 31, 2018, The Red Party was held in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum‘s lush Raphael Room, after a three-year, intensive restoration project. Designed to bring the splendor of the richly-red gallery space to life with performances weaving together fashion, music, art and technology, guests mixed and mingled throughout the museum’s galleries and around the Courtyard. The evening was programmed in collaboration with Project Runway winner and Massachusetts College of Art alumnus, Erin Robertson and guest artist Christian Restrepo, and featured performances by Blue Heron, a Renaissance Choir, and Breaking Forms, an electro pop duo. Fashions by Robertson and Restrepo were worn by various performers who made their way through the crowd.
