ART ACTS UP: More often than not, social activism is an undercurrent of any noteworthy cultural opening, and that will be the case when Vivienne Westwood is honored at the Dallas Contemporary’s spring-summer gala. Attendees at the March 28 event at the museum won’t just be among the first to see “Get a Life!” Westwood’s debut exhibition in North America. Guests will be invited to participate in a guided protest against climate change to honor Westwood’s legacy as an activist, according to a spokeswoman for the museum. Co-curated by Dallas Contemporary senior curator Laurie Ann Farrell, the exhibition melds fashion and art through the lens of activism. The climate change message won’t be the only takeaway at the gala. Those who purchase a table worth $25,000 or more will walk away with a piece from Westwood that will be signed by the designer.

Surprisingly, that is a first for the supermodel in her 33-year
