Welcome back to high school

Two events are coming up in Brooklyn this Thursday that make us feel like it's high school all over again.

Bushwick's Refuge will host Art Class, an exhibition of art you made in high school. It doesn't have to be good - or it can be - so dig around and dust off those old watercolors and tempera paintings to put on display, and even sell if you want at your own price.

All submissions must be accompanied by a title, approx. age at creation, and a short but pretentious description that sounds like "juxtaposing the recontexualized neo-Leninist paradigm with an exploration of the intangibility of imagination."

Popular music from the late 1990's will be playing in the background to further fit the mood.

Art Class will be from 8 p.m. to 2 p.m. at Refuge (1532 Decatur St.) To submit work, email info@refugenyc.org.

That same night, the Music Hall of Williamsburg will host The Prom You Were Promised, a benefit for 826NYC featuring DJ sets by Vampire Weekend, Pat Mahoney (of LCD Soundsystem) and Hercules and Love Affair, and hosted by Leo Allen.

We always thought we could do prom much better today than we did back in high school, from our dress to our dates to our post-prom comedy club stop, so come dressed in formal wear and re-live prom the way you always wanted.

The show is, sorry to say, sold out, but a few donor/VIP tickets are still available at http://www.826nyc.org/ or by calling (718) 499-9884 and cost $100.
