Creative Time held its first gala in three years in December. 7 at Powerhouse Arts, a former power plant along the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn that has been transformed into a nonprofit art space. Guests, many dressed by Loewe, marveled at the elegant complex once known to graffiti artists as the Batcave.
