This might be the "Year Without A Summer" (as Gawker says), but despite all the rainy days, grayness, and generally shitty weather conditions, a collection of a few hundred twenty-and thirty-somethings gathered at the Chelsea Art Museum to celebrate the Summer Solstice. The party was a promotional event aimed at getting those young things to join the museum's Young Associates program, which gives members the benefit of lots of free stuff (museum admission, access to monthly events and quarterly parties, etc.).

Ten young artists (associated with Forward Motion Theater) exhibited their paintings and video projections on the spacious room's white walls. The most magnetic was Holly Daggers, who does live video projections using some hi-tech equipment (a bluescreen, DV camera, projector, and the magical "Korg Kaoss Pad Entrancer," which Holly). For the majority of the time, the bluescreen dancing spot was the domain of Holly's two profesional dancers (Rebecca in the green and black, Celso in the fabulous make-up), but as you can see in the post's opening picture, party attendees were more than ready to go and shake their stuff in front of the camera!

Didn't catch this dancer's name, but she's fabulous

DJ Brion Isaacs, who plays music that he can only describe as "flam-core"
