May 28 | 6p - 9p | LAL @ Loudoun House
Come to this month's Fifth Third 4th Friday prepared.
Why? Well- it's not Halloween, but we are having a costume contest.
Dress as Your Alter Ego contest, to be exact.
So- come to the Loudoun House now and view one of the concurrent exhibitions, Alternate Selves, get inspired by the adornment and masquerade- then dig through your dress-ups, wigs and anything else you can plaster on your body canvas (i.e. thick eyeliner?) and be artistic. Prizes for the Ultra Creative...
Not to overlook- Mia's will be here with tasty appetizers, and KY Eagle Inc., KY Ale and Pepsi will be quenching our thirst. All while we listen to Alma Gitana (can it get any better?).
Supporters Free, Potential Supporters $7 (that's 7 bucks for food, music, art and spectacle, so it's worth it).
