The Cause: 100% Folk presented by the Young Patrons of the American Folk Art Museum

The Chairs: Peyton Cochran (see Tales from the Chair)

The Credentials: The Young Patrons committee enthusiastically kicked off their inaugural event in an effort to encourage museum support by a younger constituent. Between 250-300 hipsters enjoyed cocktails alongside White Castle mini burgers and Krispy Kreme doughnuts while NYC photographer Jason Whalen captured animated guests in a life-size Polaroid-inspired photo shoot.

The Coup: Approximately $8,000 from ticket proceeds that evening benefited the museum.
