The Bass Museum's SWANK: A Mad Tea Party is a debauched affair set against the backdrop of Robert Wilson's VOOM Portraits videos and the current mast-paintings show Splendor in the Bass. Couture costumes by KRELwear and a huge "mad tea party" installation take you deeper down the rabbit hole. The party is a truly trippy time, but big surprise: no tea. Instead, attendees get cocktails, bites, and music by Life Project and DJ Lauren A.
