Saturday April 30th
8pm-12am
Art Carnage is back and this month we are adding urban-pop influence in the form of the best area graffiti artists as well as urban, tattoo and pop culture inspired crafts and clothing.
SPONSORED BY ALBUS CAVUS!
Albus Cavus is an international collective of artists who create interactive public art projects that actively involve all community members. Now working in New Jersey, California, District of Columbia.
Art Carnage is a chaotic collision of indie artists and performers who come together the last Saturday of every month for 4 hours of non-stop creative action. Carnage attendees will experience live music, belly dancing, improv, poetry, burlesque, live painting, performance art, hooping, comedy, rap, spoken word as well as the unplanned and unexpected. Its practically a surreal experience.
The event is free in order to eliminate any audience barriers. We want everyone to be able to experience and engage with the area’s amazing creatives that infuse life into the DC Metro area if you give them the chance.
