Tonight, February 12th at Redline, help to celebrate the launch of the much awaited local, community generated, design annual.
You don’t know Illiterate? Well its:
the new home of illiterate’s hybrid arts community where local and world renowned artists and writers come together on equal footing to participate in the creation of the small square magazine that puts Colorado’s arts scene on a pedestal.
The scandalous event begins at 5:30 with a Gala/Fundraiser with all proceedes supporting the magazine and its related endeavors.
There will be libations. There will be hors deurves. There will be passionate performances to satisfy the varied taste of even the most discerning patron. Be dazzled by lascivious fashion theater created by 10 of Denver’s most luscious designers , be wooed by spoken word poetry and swoon to the tunes of live jazz by Pink Hawks and Spanish guitar by Mhamed El Menjra. Admire and acquire art in a silent auction curated by RedLine’s own artist in residence Travis Egedy. As the night’s official master of ceremonies, Denver’s ambassador-at-large, Sid Pink, will move the evening along in style and give audience members the chance to get more intimately acquainted with illiterate, RedLine and the personalities behind these two creative incubators.
The party really starts to rock at 10:00, when:
Josephine & the Mousepeople, Paper Bird and Kingdom of Magic will bring home the Love to Hate theme with live musical performances, and DJs PicturePlane, Bobby Collins and Mu$a will pump the good vibrations throughout the night. An encore performance of the Affair’s fashion theater show will surely leave all in attendance breathless. For those in attendance still scrounging for that heartfelt expression of Valentine affection or anguish, Denver’s resident craft experts at Fancy Tiger, will be there to guide even the most clumsy thumbed through Cupid’s Holiday with a Love to Hate craft room.
Damn, this is surly the place to be tonight. Tickets for the gala are $30 at the door and include admission to the website launch party. If you’d only like to attend the launch party, then tickets are $12 at the door – unless you bring in a small piece of art or text that expresses your thoughts on Love and Hate, in which case it’s only $10.
