Art Coop is a nonprofit artists' cooperative. We produce a 33-person group art exhibit every month. That's about 400 opportunities a year for St. Louis artists to show their work. And we never charge gallery commissions on sales of artists' work. Now we're trying to raise money to keep our doors open at our new location with Art Coop's benefit fundraiser: The Yada, Yada, Dada costume ball on Saturday night, May 12, from 8 pm to 1 am. Now you can help ensure the survival of a unique arts organization and also have one of the most bizarre nights of your life. Yes, it's Dada time. Art Coop's benefit fund-raiser is your best opportunity between Mardi Gras and Halloween to dress up and let your inner child out for one surreal Dada night. Featured performers include Loretta Louise, the three-legged European dance sensation, Celestial Theater, and West African and Eqyptian dance troupes. Also fire eaters, nude body painting and more. There's also DJ Chrome 242, live music by Learn, Artist!, free food from St. Louis restaurants, and a fire sale auction of 33 art works that must go at *any* price. Yada, Yada, Dada fantasy costume ball admission is free with your paid Art Coop membership. ($25 per person minimum membership donation) Because of the adult nature of some of the costumes and performances, this is a private party for Art Coop members only. (If we're not sold out, $30 memberships will be available at the door).
