Summer Campy: IS183 Art School’s KitchyKinky Gala
When you attend a gala for a nonprofit organization built around the visual arts, you expect an aesthetically rich experience. Yet somehow IS183 Art School of the Berkshires manages to surprise and dazzle us every year with both the amount and the variety of decorations. From a larger-than-life fuzzy aquamarine moose/fish and a hot pink feathery flamingo, to details such as the picnic-appropriate checkered tablecloths and the naming of cocktails (“Bug Juice” anyone?), Camp Kitchykinky, held on Saturday, May 19 at Camp Eisner in Great Barrington, delivered the goods. With help from chef Brian Alberg of Main Street Hospitality Group, IS183 served up all the food you remember from summer camp, except better: grilled kebabs, mashed potatoes and gravy, vanilla milkshakes, s’mores and more. A silent auction and dance party with light projections by artist Joe Wheaton followed. It was truly something to write home to your folks about.
