OPEN SOURCE CARNIVAL

Come on down to the Open Source Carnival for a rollicking good time! Suit up in your favorite costume, bring a taste for the bizarre, the spontaneous, the sublime… and bring a little pocket change, too. A benefit to help Open Source Gallery rebuild after the fire last November, the Carnival will feature a festive variety of performances by a dozen local artists and musicians all day long.

It all takes place in a four-story wal…k-up rendered uninhabitable last November as firefighters fought the fire in the adjacent gallery building. Concurrent with the Carnival is a group exhibition throughout the vacant brownstone entitled ASSOCIATED, and together these events serve as something of a New Orleans style funeral and wake for the building. Come on out, join the spectacle and help us transform this disaster site into one of celebration!
