Reverberations
2009-2010 IN REVIEW
wexner center for the arts THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY
Artist Mark Bradford, the 2009–2010 Wexner Center Residency Award recipient in visual arts, visited with guests at the opening of his exhibition in May. One of the artist’s residency projects involved reinventing Mithra, the huge “ark” he exhibited as a public project in New Orleans’s Lower Ninth Ward in 2008, as a gallery sculpture titled Detail.
Director’s Message
Reverberant: It’s always been among my favorite words, suggesting—as it does—a full spectrum of experiences from the seismically shocking, to the persistently pulsing, to the more gently rippling but still resonant and ramifying. Art at its best, no matter the specific creative discipline, is all of these things in different measure, and presiding over a contemporary arts institution can sometimes feel like trying to calibrate cultural affect and aftershock along a kind of Richter scale. At the very least, a place like the Wexner Center thrives on and revels in making waves—triggering “cause and effect” of a potent sort—whether creative, intellectual, emotional, psychological, or all of the above. Providing the impetus and resources to forge meaningful interaction among artists and thinkers, enabling fresh research and amplifying expertise across diverse disciplines that don’t customarily collaborate, and advancing contemporary culture through artists’ residencies and commissions are all at the core of our institutional identity, profile, and raison d’être. Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of my portfolio as director of the Wexner Center is the opportunity to conjure reverberant experiences for artists, audiences, academics, and our professional peers—whether it’s by bringing together such previously unacquainted luminaries in their respective fields as Luc Tuymans and T. J. Clark; gathering renowned environmental
scientists together with artists, landscape architects, and cultural commentators in a panel on “Climate and Culture”; linking SITI’s Who Do You Think You Are with a national symposium on Narrative, Science, and Performance hosted with Ohio State’s Project Narrative; or enabling Wexner Center Residency Award artists such as Mark Bradford, Reid Farrington, and Lewis Klahr to develop and present significant new work. It matters enormously to my colleagues and I that days, weeks, months, and even years after encounters at the Wex, participants recall them with such relish and lasting appreciation for having experienced something truly unique. Looking back over the past year of remarkable exhibitions, performances, films, videos, lectures, symposia, and special events—and particularly intense media coverage thereof—is not only personally rewarding but institutionally significant as we come to the conclusion of our second decade. It is indeed hard to believe that the once unlikely experiment and still bold cultural hypothesis known as the Wexner Center is leaving adolescence behind. But rest assured, this rite of passage in no way indicates a wavering or diminution of creative exuberance and daring on our part! In the pages that follow you’ll see ample evidence of the center’s commitment to expanding possibilities for artists, audiences, and the wider cultural field. These are but select examples of the many projects commissioned, organized, or presented by the Wex that continue to echo and reverberate—both outward and inward. This past year the Wex has seen numerous exhibitions, performances, and films travel from the center to other leading venues across the country or around the world, among them our Luc Tuymans and Mark Bradford exhibitions, theatrical productions by Farrington, SITI, and Nature Theater of Oklahoma, a suite of new videos by Klahr, film programs
Belgian painter Luc Tuymans visited the center in November for a public conversation with art historian T. J. Clark in conjunction with the exhibition of Tuymans’s work. The two distinguished visitors flank Director Sherri Geldin.
Rare Films from the Baseball Hall of Fame and AvantGaming, and the many film and video works postproduced in our Art & Technology studio. We’ve made a concerted effort over the past year to engage local audiences, in several instances by taking our programs outside the Wex walls and into the city of Columbus. Starting in January 2010, our film/video curators began a regular partnership with the Gateway Film Center, allowing us to bring films with a Wex-sensibility to this neighboring multiplex run by Campus Partners. In November 2009 we hosted our first presentation in Columbus’s newly renovated Lincoln Theater, a landmark in the heart of the city’s historical African American cultural district
(where we will present Anna Deavere Smith next season), and we continued to offer Wex concerts in the historic Southern Theatre in downtown Columbus. In May, the Market at 15th and High was inaugurated thanks to the diligent efforts of a handful of Wexner Center staff members across several departments, underscoring an increasing awareness of and commitment to sustainable environmental practices. Each week, right outside our doors, farm-fresh produce is made available to campus area shoppers including Ohio State students, staff, and faculty along with neighborhood residents. This seasonal market amplifies other initiatives throughout the center such as our annual Art & Environment program for high school students and our ongoing collaboration with the Living Culture Initiative in Ohio State’s Department of Art. Our foremost mandate, of course, is to ensure that all our programs, wherever they are presented and whomever they attract and serve,
exemplify the highest possible caliber of artist excellence and innovation. And like proverbial stones skipped across the surface of our cultural waters, they continue to ripple, resonate, and reverberate in ways we’ll never fully know: Wexwaves, both seismic and subtle, pulsing through the world. The 2009–10 season marked the Wexner Center’s twentieth anniversary; as this annual report goes to press, we are poised to embark upon our 21st year, typically associated with “coming of age.” And while we’d like to think we’ve gained a modicum of professional and institutional maturity, please don’t imagine that “growing up” means abandoning the energetic, irreverent, and everrestless sense of artistic exploration and discovery that has marked our first two decades. The Wex was a bold and pioneering experiment at the outset and, two decades on, has won the respect and admiration of artists, professional peers, and contemporary arts aficionados everywhere. Thanks to the steadfast generosity of patrons, foundations, and corporations from central Ohio and far beyond, to the extraordinary support of our colleagues across The Ohio State University, and to the remarkable individuals that I am proud to call the center’s board of trustees, staff, and volunteers, we will remain resolutely, rambunctiously (and, dare I say it?–reverberantly) committed to the distinctive mission that has propelled the center from the start. Sherri Geldin

“Let it be stated early and often: Since it opened in 1989, the Wexner Center for the Arts has provided some of the best contemporary art programming in the Midwest, if not the entire country.” —CLEVEL AND PL AIN DEALER, SEPTEMBER 27, 2009
Exceptional Artistry
“The interplay between the live and film actors is an elegant kind of dance… visually arresting, aesthetically complex.” —NEW YORK TIMES, APRIL 28, 2010 (ON GIN & “IT”)
The Wexner Center brings its audiences outstanding artists and works from across the globe while also sending new creations to far-flung environs.
Reid Farrington, Wexner Center Residency Award recipient in performing arts, premiered Gin & “It,” a production that integrates video and live theater, here in March 2010. The show went on to PS 122 in New York, where it generated much positive interest.
The center’s willingness to take risks on the first fulllength work by this new media artist (and Wooster Group designer) is emblematic of our commitment to provide a creative laboratory environment in which artists can pursue groundbreaking efforts. While at the Wex, Farrington (at left) spoke to high school students about his work.
“I was ultimately really happy with the installation.… In retrospect, it may end up the most beautiful installation of all.” —LUC TUYMANS, NEW YORK TIMES, FEBRUARY 3, 2010 (ON HIS SHOW AT THE WEX)
The exhibitions Mark Bradford in the spring and Luc Tuymans in the fall debuted at the Wex before embarking on extensive tours: to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (which coorganized Luc Tuymans), the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, and the Dallas Museum of Art, as well as to Bozar Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels (Luc Tuymans) and the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston (Mark Bradford).
Each artist made multiple visits to the center and talked with members, donors, students, media, and the public while here. Wexner Center donors Barbara K. Fergus and Loann W. Crane (opposite page) enjoyed the Bradford opening. Guests at the Tuymans preview included SFMOMA Director Neal Benezra and lenders Jos and Criss Asselmann, collectors of the artist’s work from Belgium who traveled to Columbus for the show (at left, with Wex Director Sherri Geldin).
The continuing travels of Chris Marker: Staring Back (an exhibition that premiered here in 2007) took the show and its curator, Director of Media Arts Bill Horrigan, to the Museu da Imagem e do Som in São Paulo last summer. Staring Back previously traveled to Zurich and Antwerp (in 2008–2009) and heads to the Beirut Art Center in November 2010.
“A renowned interdisciplinary arts center, the Wex, as it’s called, has drawn national attention to the area with its interactive events and innovative exhibitions.” —NEW YORK TIMES (TRAVEL SECTION), MARCH 10, 2010
The Wexner Center had a banner year for media and press coverage, and quite a few stories turned up in new or less expected outlets. Peter Schjeldahl’s review of Luc Tuymans in the New Yorker and Sanford Schwartz’s of the accompanying catalogue in the New York Review of Books marked our institution’s first write-ups in those distinguished publications. Our performances, exhibitions, film events, and education programs also earned accolades in print and online publications from Artforum to Vogue and the Columbus Dispatch to the New York Times.
More highlights: Wexner Center programmers including Director of Performing Arts Charles R. Helm appeared in an October video feature for the Ohio Channel. Assistant Film Curator Chris Stults published an essay about Lewis Klahr, this year’s Wexner Center Residency Award recipient in media arts, in the highly respected journal Film Comment. And the center as a whole won praise in several travel pieces on Columbus.
In Hard Targets, a winter exhibition, artists investigated images of and attitudes toward sports and masculinity. Marketing efforts for the show involved collaborating with leading figures in Ohio State athletics to pique the interest of sports fans, and the show attracted numerous first-time visitors to our galleries, including many young athletes. Pictured: Curator Christopher Bedford, Buckeye football standout and OSU Alumni Association Director Archie Griffin, OSU Athletic Director Gene Smith, and OSU Football Coach Jim Tressel spoke about the show in a video feature produced by the university for the Big Ten Network and in the center’s own PSA about the show. Below: College and high school students tour the show. David, Austin, and Bryant (2009), one of the works featured in Hard Targets, comes from a series of images of high school football players by noted photographer Catherine Opie. The Wexner Center commissioned Opie to take photographs for the series, including this portrait of players for the Bexley High School team, in central Ohio, as a way of establishing local connections to the exhibition.
“Best of all, the Wexner and the exhibition manage to widen art’s circle without dumbing down the show, its content, or muting the points of view of the included artists.” —T YLER GREEN’S MODERN ART NOTES BLOG (ON HARD TARGETS)
The newly renovated Lincoln Theater, a landmark in Columbus’s King-Lincoln District, historically the center of a vibrant, culturally rich African American neighborhood, was the perfect setting for Numero’s Eccentric Soul Revue, a cavalcade of outstanding classic soul acts (including some from Columbus) whose hits on local and regional labels are now being revived and reissued by the Numero Group of Chicago.
The Merce Cunningham Dance Company launched its international Legacy Tour with a February performance in Mershon Auditorium. Enthusiastic dance fans came early to hear the insights and memories of former Cunningham dancer Karen Eliot and lighting designer David Covey, both members of Ohio State’s outstanding dance faculty.
Famed film director Peter Bogdanovich was among the visiting filmmakers who appeared at the Wex in 2009–2010. He introduced his delightful screwball comedy What’s Up Doc in January as part of a brief series that also featured his breakthrough film, The Last Picture Show. Bogdanovich signed autographs and visited with delighted fans at a reception for members. Another visiting filmmaker was Eric Bricker, who introduced Visual Acoustics, his cinematic portrait of photographer Julius Shulman, whose stunning pictures chronicled the Southern California approach to modernist architecture.
“My fiancé and I love the fact that we can see Wexner-quality programming at the Gateway. It’s comfortable, convenient, and so easy for us to get to.” —COLUMBUS FILM FAN JAMIE LEVINE
The ongoing “Wex at Gateway” series took our diverse international, contemporary, and classic film programs beyond our own walls to the Gateway Film Center at the nearby South Campus Gateway shopping and entertainment complex. Pictured: the Gateway Film Center and the first two “Wex at Gateway” films, Bronson and The Horse Boy, both shown in January 2010.
“Sold out last night, near capacity tonight—good shows here in the midwest!” —ERIK FRIEDL ANDER, ON TWIT TER, DECEMBER 5, 2009
The Next@Wex music series continues to be a runaway success, packing larger venues (like the downtown Southern Theatre and Mershon Auditorium) for shows by such stars as Joanna Newsom, Andrew Bird, and Wilco, while continuing to showcase hot new figures and edgier talents in our “black box” spaces. Pictured: Wilco performing in Mershon (background); and, from top, Joanna Newsom, Andrew Bird, krautrock trailbrazers Faust, The xx, Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy, and St. Vincent (at bottom right).
Other musical sounds at the center this year came from The Tiger Lillies (inset, at right), who offered their spooky cabaret melodies just in time for Halloween, and cellist Erik Friedlander (far right), who drew on childhood memories of cross-country camping trips with his mother and father (famed photographer Lee Friedlander) for the haunting melodies of his Block Ice and Propane.
The UCLA Film & Television Archive Festival of Preservation brought an entire month of earlier and more recent cinema classics to our audiences in October 2009, including Fritz Lang’s gothic melodrama Secret Beyond the Door (1948) and John Sayles’s breakthrough feature, Return of the Secaucus 7 (1980). French director Claire Denis’ 35 Shots of Rum intrigued fans at the Wex itself and then at Gateway with its intertwined stories of friendship, family, and love in contemporary multicultural Paris, as one of many contemporary international hits screened throughout the year.
Sixties counter-culture classic Easy Rider was among the movies selected for Soundtrack Available, the tune-filled summer series of July and August 2009.
Killed, which screened in the Box in October 2009, resurrects images for the Depression-era Farm Security Administration photography program that were rejected for printing or, in the language of photojournalism, “killed.” Artist William E. Jones worked on the piece in the Wex’s Art & Technology film editing studio, as he has for many projects, some of which he showed in the Nordic Pavilion of the 2009 Venice Biennale and in a winter 2010 gallery show at Veneklasen Werner in Berlin.
Laura Larson, who teaches at Ohio University, also received support from the Art & Tech program for the March Box feature: Electric Girls and the Invisible World emerged from Larson’s ongoing interest in spirit photography, the practice of recording paranormal phenomena.
“Buy a ticket for whatever is showing at the Wexner, even if you’ve never heard of it.” —BUFFALO NEWS, MAY 16, 2010
Performances by Japan’s KARAS and Brazil’s Grupo de Rua, among others, furthered our mission to introduce significant international dance talents to this region. KARAS performed the U.S. premiere of Miroku, which went on to the Lincoln Center Festival in New York in July 2010.
The innovative artists of Dutch theater company Hotel Modern mesmerized audiences with their January production of The Great War, which brought the miniature and monumental together in an unforgettable evocation of war’s destruction. Other memorable evenings of international theater came from Druid Ireland’s production of Edna Walsh’s The Walworth Farce and playwright Tim Crouch’s two-character drama England, performed in our galleries.
The Wex co-commissioned two shows, Romeo and Juliet and Rambo Solo, by vanguard New York theater ensemble Nature Theater of Oklahoma (NaTO) and hosted performances of both in May, as the only U.S. venue to present the companion works in the same week.
Expatriate filmmaker Robert Beavers made a rare appearance at the Wex in November 2009, to introduce several short works, including The Ground (left). Marie Losier, born in France and now based in New York, was also part of the cluster of prominent experimental artists (along with Janie Geiser and residency artist Lewis Klahr) to visit during the year; she introduced a program that featured Slap the Gondola (right) also in November.
NaTO’s creative approach to Romeo and Juliet offers a complement and counterpoint to more traditional interpretations of Shakespeare and so also complements Ohio State’s ongoing partnership with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
“One of the most exacting minds and singular sensibilities at work in the movies.” —VILL AGE VOICE (ON ROBERT BEAVERS)
Research and Education
High school students in Pages, the center’s acclaimed art and literacy program, explored Mark Bradford’s work with a discussion-filled exhibition tour and responded to it in their own prose and poetry. In WorldView (at right), another school program for teens, students watched The Letter, an award-winning film about the experiences of immigrants from Somalia in a Maine town, and then had lunch and attended a panel discussion with members of the Somali community in Columbus.
The Wexner Center is a research laboratory where artists create new works and investigate new approaches and a learning laboratory where audiences of all ages expand their understanding of the arts and the world.
The annual Ohio Shorts film and video showcase in May gives media artists from throughout Ohio an opportunity to show their creative research, i.e., their recently completed short works. Pictured: Sittikiat “Bank” Saelim of Groveport won first place in the Ohio Shorts Youth Division (for ages 18 and under) for his
Project Beat and was selected for a program sponsored by Cardinal Health that enabled five young filmmakers to continue honing their skills while making PSAs about prescription drug abuse. Below: Summer by Marc Wiskemann of Columbus was one of 16 shorts screened in the adult division.
Filmmaker and residency award artist Lewis Klahr offered aspiring filmmakers and film fans insights into his lyrical collage animation during a “master class” based on his own shot-by-shot analysis of Pony Glass, one of his bestknown short works.
The SITI Company theater ensemble, which has developed several projects as Wexner Center Residency Award artists, returned to the center in September 2009 with Who Do You Think You Are, a work that uses an exploration of brain science as its creative springboard. The performance became the keynote event for Narrative, Science, and Performance, a
national symposium cosponsored by Project Narrative in Ohio State’s Department of English and the Wex, in an example of how campus collaborations allow artists to impact academic life across many fields of inquiry and study. SITI Artistic Director Anne Bogart and company members also held a discussion session with Ohio State theater students (pictured).
Hands-on art experiences and learning are the hallmarks of the Wexner Center’s popular and highly regarded Summer Kids and Teen Arts Fusion workshops, as well of Super Sunday and Wex Lab programs during the rest of the year. In 2009–2010, young artists took on oil painting, collage, and making singleshot music videos, among many creative endeavors.
Young French artist Cyprien Gaillard, who spoke in January about the haunting photos and films of his Disquieting Landscapes exhibition, was one of many remarkable speakers who shared insights with members, students, and the public in 2009–10.
British architect David Adjaye, whose current projects include the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture to be built on the mall in Washington, D.C., delivered the Glimcher Lecture in April and met with students after the talk.
Renowned Belgian painter Luc Tuymans conversed with distinguished art history scholar and writer T. J. Clark in the Lambert Family Lecture in November.
“I walked out of every class with an interesting new perspective to consider…. This truly has been an innovative learning experience that cannot be found in any traditional learning environment.” —EMILY EWING, ART & ENVIRONMENT STUDENT, MAY 24, 2010
Art & Environment, a signature Wexner Center education program, connects high school students with artists, Ohio State scientists, and experts in such fields as sanitation and energy. Studio work and fieldtrips (to such sites as an AEP power plant, inset) are both integral to the course, which culminates with an exhibition where the students display their own projects (background).
Concerns about our global environment permeated several public programs at the Wex, including Climate and Culture, the 2010 edition of the Director’s Dialogue on Art and Social Change, in which a panel of celebrated artists and scientists engaged with the issues of climate change and global warming gathered to share their work and ideas with each other and the public. Pictured: photographer Mitch Epstein, designer Edwina von Gal, artist David Buckland, Ohio State scientist Lonnie Thompson (a world-renowned expert on climate change), artist Alexis Rockman, Wex Director Sherri Geldin, and composer Paul D. Miller (aka DJ Spooky). Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee hosted a reception for the panelists and audience after the conversation.
Field & Screen, a monthlong film series in February, turned a cinematic lens on problems and possibilities surrounding food production and consumption, with several hard-hitting documentaries such as The End of the Line (at right), about issues related to fishing, and Oscar nominee Food, Inc. (below). The series also prompted several education programs, including a panel discussion, titled AgriCulture, with artist Micheal Mercil, Jaime Moore of Wayward Seed Farm, Jeni Britton Bauer of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, and Amy Bodiker of the Chef’s Collaborative (a national advocacy group for sustainable practices in the culinary community).
Mercil’s Virtual Pasture displayed just outside the Wex raised related questions about our attitudes toward food and agriculture. Mercil brought his real sheep to visit the pasture each month during the school year and introduced Sherri Geldin and Bobby Moser, OSU’s vice president for agricultural administration, to a new lamb in May. Director of Education Shelly Casto talked about the project on Our Ohio, a regional PBS program that aired on stations throughout the state.
Outreach and Engagement
The Wex reaches out to many constituencies through varied programs and events and serves as a hub for discussion and creative problem solving.
Residency award artist Mark Bradford and Columbus-based artist Aminah Robinson participated in a public conversation as a lead-in to the opening of Bradford’s exhibition. The lively exchanges between the two MacArthur “genius” fellowship recipients about their attitudes toward art, materials, community, and many other topics enthralled the avid audience in Mershon Auditorium.
The event was the first supported by a new endowed fund established through the generosity of Wexner Center Foundation Trustee Alex Shumate and his family to enhance participation in the Wexner Center by African American professionals. Below: Renee and Alex Shumate at the conversation.
An ice cream social with Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, video games developed by students in Wexner Center summer workshops, and such movies as the animated A Town Called Panic and the documentary What’s on Your Plate delighted visitors to Zoom: Family Film Festival. Farfalle (Butterflies) from Italy’s Compagnia T.P.O. thrilled young audiences in weekday performances for school groups and weekend performances for families.
Reverberating connections abound when regional filmmakers present projects with strong local connections to audiences deeply invested in those topics and issues. In August 2009 Bill and Turner Ross introduced 45365, their documentary portrait of small-town life in Sidney, Ohio.
The March 2010 Out@Wex film series offered a weekend of movies and special events of particular interest to our region’s thriving GLBT community. Director and Princeton University Professor Su Friedrich visited to introduce Hide and Seek, her daring exploration of lesbian adolescence in the 1960s. Another highlight was Drool, directed by Nancy Kissam, which has been described as “part Thelma & Louise and part Little Miss Sunshine.”
In May, the Wex collaborated with Kaleidoscope Youth Center to host The Other Prom, a free alcohol- and drug-free alternative prom for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and queer/ questioning youth up to age 20 and their allies.
Julia Reichert introduced The Last Truck (opposite page), the documentary she and partner Steve Bognar made about the closing of the GM assembly plant in Dayton, in May 2010, and several former workers who appear in the film took the stage with her for a deeply moving dialogue with the audience.
Special events throughout the year helped us show our appreciation to our valued members. A September 2009 member-only film screening of Herb and Dorothy introduced viewers to an enchanting and unconventional pair of contemporary art collectors, postal clerk and librarian Herb and Dorothy Vogel.
Students from all over Ohio were invited to the Ohio Colleges Student Party (above left) in February 2010 for pizza, video games, and arts-related fun. The September 2009 Welcome Week Party for Ohio State students featured a Wex Drive-In style outdoor movie and a visit from Ohio State University President E. Gordon Gee (pictured with student worker Debbie Bitzen).
Community members including this happy couple thronged the June 2010 Wex Drive-In screening.
What’s New— Continual improvements and new initiatives— What’s Different both propel our efforts at the Wex.
Staying abreast with the fast-changing worlds of social media and digital communications is a challenge the Wex happily embraces. A mobile version of our website makes the Wex easy to take along wherever our fans carry their smart phones.
Resource Interactive’s support of the Mark Bradford exhibition took the form of pinocchioisonfire.org, a dynamic interpretive and educational web microsite developed in association with the Wex and the artist himself. Pictured: the front door to the site (above) and the artist with Resource executives Kelly Mooney, president and chief experience officer (left), and Nancy Kramer, founder and CEO (right), at the exhibition opening.
Fresh got closer for the Ohio State University community on May 27, 2010, when the Wex partnered with Wayward Seed Farm to launch the Market at 15th & High, a Thursday farmer’s market held weekly through October on the Wexner Center plaza.
The idea for the market grew out of discussions and collaborations that began with the Field & Screen film series and related events. Also pictured (at left): Jaime Moore of Wayward Seed at a Community Supported Agriculture fair held in conjunction with the film series in February.
“The Wexner Center provides our community with invaluable experiences…helping to make [it] a better, more vital place. As a member of that community, I thank you for your contribution.” Leslie H. Wexner Chair, Wexner Center Foundation Chairman, Limited Brands in a message to corporate and individual donors attending the 2009 Gala The Wexner Center has updated the spirit and form of its annual gala celebration in recent years, eschewing a formal seated dinner in favor of a lively party atmosphere. What hasn’t changed is the message of thanks and appreciation the annual celebration sends to the center’s generous donors. Wexner Center Foundation Trustee Abigail Wexner, Wexner Center Foundation
Chair Les Wexner, Ohio State University President E. Gordon Gee, and Wexner Center Director Sherri Geldin greeted guests at the gala in November 2009. Also enjoying the evening were Donor Circles members Steve and Jamie Allen, Cindy and Larry Hilsheimer, and James and Mary Lyski (pictured at top left).
The Off the Grid party took off on April 10, 2010, as a new fundraising event targeted specifically to the young creatives and professionals of the GenWex generation. The festivities included Chicago’s Hood Internet, photobooths, giant Pong, and local artist/ entertainers Anna and the Annadroids, Nick Tolford and Company, and DJ Detox, plus eats from some of the city’s finest restaurants, all rolled together in a high-energy event only the Wex’s young patrons could put together. Proceeds benefited educational programs at the center.
