Whether Bauhaus has been on your playlist since before iTunes existed or you’re a black-lipstick virgin, the April 18th Art F City Goth Benefit is an event for you. The more black you wear, the better your night.
We’re deadly serious. Those who come coupled, and in full goth garb will receive a $50 discount. Show up at the door together, and we’ll hand cuff you for an additional $25. We’re not going so far as to offer neck leashes, but anyone who has had a rib removed for better corset shaping gets in for free.
That’s important because we want the setting to be dark and romantic ambiance for Joseph Keckler, who will perform a 20 minute set of some of his greatest goth opera masterpieces. (Get your stage side table ticket for two, for the full date night experience.) It will be a show you won’t forget. While there, artist and Instagram star Sean Fader and crew will take your photo and print it out for you.
Coming to this event should feel good. It means supporting Art F City, one of New York’s most storied online publications—a brave voice in these challenging times, unafraid to take hard positions and lay out what’s at stake. And ultimately it’s this sensibility that’s driving this event. It’s not just that the goth aesthetic has taken over the art world (though it has), but that goth culture, with all its sensitivity, with all its courage, is what’s needed. Surely that’s something to celebrate.
Art F City is a 501c3 and non-profit registered in the State of New York. Your donations are 100 percent tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
