Photo by Lori SaxRingling College of Art and Design once again wowed guests with its unique programming at its Avant-Garde fundraiser March 1.
Celebrating pop culture’s favorite moments, guests wore tracksuits and fanny packs that came in handy for the crisp temperatures that hovered in the 60s. Enthusiastic attendees, staff and students dressed as Elton John, the Beatles, denizens of “Wayne’s World” and “Gilligan’s Island” and so many more iconic characters, celebrities and notable folks at the event, co-chaired by Drs. Joel and Gail Morganroth.
Over 400 guests took a look at the past while channeling the future with immersive experiences featuring icons Marilyn Monroe/Taylor Swift, The Godfather/Harry Potter and Babe Ruth/Michael Jordan.
With the core ingredients of food, drinks, entertainment, fun and dancing, the evening honored Ringling students, who are the true trendsetters.
With more than 90% of its students qualifying for need, Ringling’s Avant-Garde event raises money for student scholarships.
