The Tryst Collective is presenting a one-night only show, BP’s Black Plague – A Response in Art & Music, tonight at the R Bar on the Bowery. They write:
Join us for a ONE NIGHT show chock full of visual art, live music and poetry! On Monday, October 11 – 7:00 PM at the R Bar, the creative community expresses their feelings about the BP oil spill and the Gulf Coast through stunning art, live music, and poetry!*
The BP oil spill was an eye opener for many of us about our world’s detrimental dependence on oil. It brought to light other oil spills that have occurred before and after… the spill, reminding us how such catastrophes affect the environment, animals and people.
Local, Out of State, AND *Gulf Coast* artists will exhibit their work.
Have a few drinks, give our artists some love, meet new people, and hear some amazing music.
A percentage of the Tryst’s proceeds will go to help the Gulf Coast region.
There will be:
* A SILENT AUCTION of artwork created by participating Gulf Coast artists
* A collectively written poem by YOU!
* Amazing Art, Poetry, and Music!
* ARTWORK and CD’s for sale
* TONS of awesome!
* Drink specials!
