The evening’s honoree was Westport resident Gary Cosgrave, who, as a two-time WAC past president and current board member, has championed the arts in the local community and contributed significantly to WAC’s growth and direction. "My co-chair Deirdre Price and I, and our Superstar Committee were fortunate to have selected such a colorful artist to draw upon in planning the first annual Art Affair. Using Warhol's Factory as a springboard allowed us to showcase all the wonderful and unique aspects of the Westport Arts Center and the talented people associated with it. From WAC's gallery to its education, film and music programs, the Ball represented and celebrated all in one fabulous party, at an awesome venue," said Deanna Foster, WAC board member and co-chair of the Art Affair. Marni Smith Katz, WAC development director, said “the Art Affair was a great success and we were delighted to exceed our financial goal. Proceeds from the fundraiser will support WAC’s diverse, high-quality visual and performing arts programs. Thanks to generous community support, WAC programs reach more than 11,000 people annually, including 4,000 school-aged children.” The Factory Superstars Committee planning The Warhol Ball included Nell Bernegger, Kristen Briner, Stacie Curran, Kara Edwards, Jodi Felton, Deanna Foster, Chrissey Hunt, Melissa Kane, Laura Maged, Erika Miller, Dale Najarian, Eileen O’Brien and Deirdre Price.
