    Hot Houston crowd gets back in the mix as MFAH's late-night dance party returns after 3-year break

    An electric crowd of art, music, and party-loving Houstonians packed the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston this past weekend for the big return of the museum's late-night party, Mixed Media.

    As CultureMap reported, this summer's event marked this first Mixed Media since 2019; the MFAH stopped the party in response to the pandemic. More than 900 hit the MFAH's Audrey Jones Beck Building to catch an all-Houston musical lineup starring headline act The Suffers, rising star opener Lenora, and DJ/producer Tay Powers.

    Fusing hot music, a dance club vibe, and cutting-edge art, the party rocked with tunes, hundreds on the dance floor, and an exclusive peek at the MFAH's current exhibit, “William Kentridge: In Praise of Shadows,” an eye-catching showcase for the noted South African artist.

    When not hitting the the dance floor and checking out the artwork, visitors sipped cocktails and noshed on pizza and light bites from Cafe Leonelli, the MFAH's Italian cafe and bakery.

    Getting the crowd going with her self-described "rhythm and groove," Lenora opened the show with a groove-filled set. Before the show and between set, Tay Powers spun tunes and kept the beats flowing. Later, The Suffers and charismatic lead singer Kam Franklin took the stage for their sticky-sweet soul, funk, and R&B sounds from latest release It Starts With Love and other faves.

    Judging by the nearly 1,000 in the building, the MFAH will have no problem drawing a crowd for its mixed-media, late-night dance party.

    What: BRASS 30th Anniversary Celebration

    Where: Private residence, River Oaks

    The Scoop: A swirl of scientific minds, seasoned mentors, and future biomedical stars filled a River Oaks residence as BRASS (Baylor Research Advocates for Student Scientists) toasted its 30th anniversary. The May 6 gathering of more than 100 supporters honored three decades of trailblazing mentorship and more than $9 million raised for student scientists at Baylor College of Medicine.

    Underwritten by Edna Meyer Nelson and The Richland Companies, the event kicked off with remarks from Elsie Eckert and 2021 BRASS Scholar Sharon Bright, now a rising research force and recipient of the 2024 Don D. Jordan Outstanding Trailblazer Scientist award.

    Honors flowed as smoothly as the champagne. Dr. James Bonar received the Angel of the Year Award, while Dr. Ben Deneen and Dr. Ganesh Rao were named Mentors of the Year. A standout presence was Dr. Huda Zoghbi, acclaimed neurologist and longtime BRASS advocate, whose appearance anchored the evening with gravitas and inspiration.

    A poignant tribute was paid to one of BRASS’s earliest champions, the late Dr. Michael DeBakey, who helped launch the organization and remains its Honorary Lifetime Member.

    Longtime partners like the David and Eula Wintermann Foundation and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo were applauded for their multi-million dollar contributions. A moving moment came with the tribute to BRASS Founder Myra Branum Wilson, whose fateful in-flight chat with a Baylor researcher sparked what would become a legacy of scientific support.

    Who: Ann Ayre, Tamara Klosz Bonar, Daniel Iron and Kirk Kveton, Dionne Bremen, Andy Delery, Ed McMahon, Hershey Grace, Jody Merritt, Francoise Marks, Peter VanDerlofske, Jacquie Baly and James Craig,, Terri Wang, Beth Wolff, Larry Burns, Cindy Burns,and Shelby Kibodeaux and Bruce Padilla.
