FX’s new program “POSE,” based on the life of dancers and drag queens from the late 80’s/early 90’s vogue-ing culture, came to life at the Hammerstein Ballroom with the premiere of the first episode and nearly three hours of live posing thereafter. On the same evening, in a completely different world and half of Manhattan away, champion wrestlers took to the mat at Rumble On The River: Beat the Streets 2018 Annual Benefit on Pier 17 in an effort to support young people, as they achieve their “full physical, cognitive and social potential and become strong and effective members of the world”. May 29th kick off the annual World Science Festival with a fantastical dinner at Jazz at Lincoln Center, full of smoke, explosions, and how-did-they-do-its (and that’s just the food!). And it wouldn’t be Spring without the BAM Gala, as each year honorees are celebrated for their contribution and philanthropy towards art and music.

Enjoy the following highlights of some of our most proud event moments in May.
