The city’s arts scene went “underground” for one night as the Weston Art Gallery in the Aronoff Center invited guests to “sneak” in the back door for a late-night warehouse-style dance party in June. The Wag It! Warehouse Party offered up the “off-limits” areas of the building as a place to revel in uninhibited celebration of the Weston’s 15th exhibition season. Who could resist an invitation like that? Wag It! and the after-hours party at The Righteous Room across from the Aronoff Center raised $15,000 for gallery programming. Photos by Guennadi Maslov
