On October 24th through 26th 2019 in Detroit comes the 12th annual assemblage of extraordinary local and international artists to display their most introspective creations at:

From the infamous to the freshest of local and international talent, this prodigious congregation will allow us a glimpse within the diverse shadows of id and ego…of overall mind and encompassing soul guaranteed to intrigue, disturb, inspire or repulse. Rising from within the ashes of Detroit’s historic institution of Devilโs Night, this is not Halloween-themed art but an immersion within the immeasurable realms of consciousness through an elegant ambiance of live ethereal music and cirque/butoh-inspired performances.
There are 3 nights of DAMNED, each with its own distinct theme for the ambiance and performances that flourish within the exhibition:
– ๐๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐/๐๐ “๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ค๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ” – A night of introspective exploration within the shadowed and primal essence of self. This opening night features an intimate VIP Preview/Artist Reception, an absinthe tasting, an on-site chef preparing hot hors dโลuvres and experimental aerial and butoh-inspired performances.
– ๐ ๐ซ๐ข ๐๐/๐๐ “๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ง๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐๐ง๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ” – A night of the extrospective self enlightened through light, fire and the ethereal. This gala night features an on-site chef preparing a sampling of internationally-inspired tapas with flavored mead tasting and exotic fire, aerial and experimental performances.
– ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐/๐๐ “๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ซ๐๐๐” – A festive celebration through a menagerie of exotic cirque, sensual rhythms and masquerade. This closing night features the formal mask-mandatory masquerade ball, multiple-dish strolling dinner with live chefs, sensuous dance performance interludes, the aural ambiance of DJs Josh Burge (Plastic Passion) and Slofu (Happy Endings) and a menagerie of strolling cirque performers all night.
