Smack Mellon

30th Anniversary Launch Party & Fundraiser

<h3>Join us on Thursday, May 29 for a party to launch a year-long celebration of Smack Mellon’s 30th anniversary!</h3> Founded by a group of artists in 1995, Smack Mellon is celebrating thirty years of putting ARTISTS FIRST by honoring our core community–without whom we wouldn’t exist. Raise a glass to all the artists who have come through our doors: those who have worked with us, who have launched their careers through us, and who have been our biggest champions over the years.The event will feature Drag Artist Essa Noche, who will perform live throughout the evening, as well as a special screening from Smack Mellon’s archive of the project No Condition is Permanent by the Barnstormers. This recently unearthed video documents their rapidly changing, multi-layered painting installation on the floor of Smack Mellon’s gallery, created throughout the summer of 2001. We will close out the night with karaoke in our back gallery, so come prepared with your best song!Single-entry tickets are pay-what-you-can from $130 to $30,000 (in honor of our 30th), and packages include multiple tickets and other benefits .
