Studio 54 burst onto the scene in 1977 and its glamour and pageantry defined the disco era. Certainly Studio 54 was a place to party, but in its intermingling of art and culture, the club was a kind of performance piece in and of itself.
The club’s admission policy only let in a select few … however it drew a mix of denizens from ALL walks of life, and the club offered a haven where people from diverse backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender identities could come together without judgment. On any night the guests might include Liza Minnelli, Andy Warhol, Grace Jones, the drag queen Divineand Bianca Jagger along with patrons of all races, socio economic scales and sexual orientation.
Even though the original club was only open for three years … it created a space where all were welcome to come and dance, party, people watch and just celebrate being together.
It’s time for “A RETURN TO STUDIO 54!
