You're invited: The 2nd Annual Circus Show & Other Atrocities (Sacramento)

[Guest guest]

The 2nd Annual Circus Show & Other Atrocities juxtaposes the dark,

painful lives of performing animals with the fun, amusing atmosphere

of the carnival.

 

Curator and artist Gale Hart brings together performers and visual

artists to create a unique and powerful event. This year's show is

already shaping up to be extraordinary!

 

The show has over 100 national and international artists

participating. The performance line-up starts with Dan Piraro, creator

of Bizarro, who will be joined by comedian and MC, Keith Lowell

Jensen, singer Larisa Bryski, plus jugglers, belly dancers,

firebenders and other performers, freaks, artist-made midway games and

rides, as well as raffle prizes including original artwork and so much

more. With proceeds donated to animal protection groups.

 

When: The artist reception and performances will be on Saturday,

September 13th from 5 – 10 p.m., with the World's Largest Artist-Made

Circus Train installation, on display in the gallery through October 11th.

 

Where: A Bitchin' Space Gallery, 2114 19th Street, downtown

Sacramento, Between U & V streets - Enter in the rear

The Circus Show is more than just a performance and art show as

participants take to the streets for the unofficial Midtown Freak

Parade and the event spills over to other venues throughout downtown

Sacramento who will also have circus-themed shows the same evening.

This year's Circus Show will easily top the Ringling Bros. circus,

which just happens to be in town the same weekend.
