SPACES presents its take on America’s 250th anniversary with a costume party benefit and curated exhibition celebrating, questioning, and complicating the stories we tell about America.
Just after the mid-term elections, we invite you to come dressed as your America—whether that means critique, ambivalence, irreverence, satire, celebration, or something entirely your own.
The evening will feature a themed curated exhibition with work for sale organized by the SPACES staff, 50/50 raffle, a cash bar after 7 PM, and live music spanning the many genres of American music.
As an organization dedicated to supporting artists who bring ideas, passion, and critical perspectives to the issues of our time, SPACES invites you to join us in celebrating one thing we believe is essential: FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.
$100 VIP | 6–7 PM
Come early. Get fancy. Make yourself at home.
Start the night with free food and drinks, a first look at the exhibition, artist meet-and-greets, 10% off artwork purchases, and music from the Indie Soul Jazz Collective, Hashtag Virgo Jazz Quartet.
$50 General Admission | 7–9 PM
Art, drinks, snacks, and musical muppets. What more could America ask for?
Enjoy a cash bar, light nosh, and music from Floyd Pepper and the Impromptunes—an eclectic collection of musical muppets brought together by friendship, fate, and presumably excellent taste.
$35 Late Night Party | 9–11 PM
Stay late. Get weird. Dance it out.
Join us for a cash bar, light snacks, and a late-night dance party. Bring your friends, make some new ones, and embrace community as we navigate this particularly unusual moment in American history. Musical delights by electronic music artists, DJs, and collaborators Neil Chastain (Pureplex) and Byron Lee.
Food prepared by North Coast Culinary Group and Logan Neisel, a Cleveland-based chef and entrepreneur with a deep passion for art, history, and culture.
