Did You Know?
Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

ACAB* | ANY REP* | EXHIBITION & BALL

What: Exhibition of Art
Who:

Ostensibly organized by the Hogsmeade Women's Institute, the exhibition will feature pieces from a variety of card-carrying members of magical art guilds both in Britain and from the continent. Some local artists who have submitted their work to the Women's Institute might also see a piece featured, but the ladies' standards are quite high.

TICKETS (MC/UC)* are available to visit the exhibition on Thursday and Friday from 11am until 6pm, with FREE entry on Saturday (AC)* from 9am until 1pm.

*UC individuals with reps 6+ and MC ~society members with reps 8+ will also be invited to a BALL on the Saturday evening in amongst the displays. All ball attendees are to be 17+ and, in the case of ladies, out.

Cost: Tickets for the exhibition are four sickles each. Tickets for the Green (see below) are 1G a pop.
Where: Hogsmeade Memorial Ballroom
Why: Because I'm rewatching Bridgerton.
When: January 28th to January 30th

Precisely one hundred and seventeen paintings will line the walls of the Hogsmeade Memorial Ballroom, replacing the usual artwork usually on display; in addition, various sculptures will be available for viewing throughout the floor.

The most notable piece on display is called The Welsh Green—suspended from the ceiling, it is a life-sized blown glass Welsh green dragon. Inside is a small garden complete with weather charms; those who are willing to shell out extra may, in groups of up to four at a time, spend half an hour in the magically-enlarged space which has at least one bench obscured from outside view...

On Saturday Evening, the sculptures too will be pushed towards the walls to allow room for dancing, hors d'oeuvres, and beverages. At the center of the room, a string quartet charmed to look like moving statues will play throughout the evening, and the usual amenities of the ballroom's building—billiard room, ladies' parlour, etc.—will be available to guests.
