SATURDAY  JULY 30TH

8PM-12AM

Art Carnage is an event that combines indie crafters & artists with a live, unstructured variety show. Its four hours of frantic creative energy.  Each Art Carnage is a unique experience combining  variety acts of all kinds– improv, poets, comics, story tellers, performance artists, burlesque, models and more. It all takes place in  the most unique creative space in the metro area.

Its not the lawyers, lobbyists and consultants that give the DC Area a pulse–its these people–the artists, musicians, writers and performers that enrich our community!

Get yourself to Art Carnage and support the local talent by meeting them, clapping for them and telling your friends about them!

Suggested Donation: $10

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.

Urban Carnage (thus far):

The Improv Imps & Extreme Improv: what do you get when two performers go on stage blindfolded & barefoot with 100 live mousetraps?  Extreme Improv!  The Imps continue to humiliate and injure themselves for your pleasure!

The Neon Rush Perform: Currently working on their new album Raw Culture. Find them on Facebook!

BellaDonna’s Bohemian Belly Dancers : Belladonna is a tribal fusion belly dance performer and instructor in the DC area. Find her on Facebook!

Janelle & Anthony: experimental folk, classical, rock with Cello, guitar and electronics

Kym Spins: Hula Hoop Performer extraordinaire! Embrace the Spin on Facebook!

Jesse Baskin: Poet, rapper, musicians and free-form thinker

Stand-up Comedian Nate Johnson!  Nate hosts an open mic every Thursday at the Comedy Spot, but you’re more likely to recognize him as that guy you saw fall down the escalator on the Metro.

Burlesque performances by Private Tails from the DC Gurly Show! Find Private Tails on Facebook too!

Live Graffiti by Ground Zero Crew on walls provided by Albus Cavus.

Live Sketch Comedy by And What Not.

Amber Dutton Performs: a songwriter in love with spoken-word and melody.  She is an engaging live performer who takes her art seriously (but not herself).  Her music is eclectic, reflecting influences as diverse as Ani Difranco, Violent Femmes, Vampire Weekend, Regina Spektor, Ben Harper, and Otis Redding. Find her on Facebook.

ART CARNAGE IS SPONSORED BY KREATIVE KEY PRODUCTIONS AND COUNTY TRANSMISSION!

Saturday March 27th 7pm-11pm

Melding medium and message into a psychological substrate throughout which all meaning simultaneously flows, uninhibited. In this vacuum of time and space, devoid of the friction consciousness brings, awareness of one’s own awareness begins to take hold.

What will follow? Imagination, freedom. potential fulfillment, or life inside a crystal cage?

If you like this BS, you will love the impact of the 8×10 ft paintings by artists Jeff Duka, Matt Somma and Brian Legan as well as their smaller masterpieces.  After months of painting together in The Soundry studio, they put together this show.

Bring your wallets, fools. The preterreal experience is going home with you.

MAKE A SCENE:  Saturday May 1st 7pm-11pm

This show presents amazing work from DC area artists who desired to F*CK the Machine.
