Zombie Prom

I'm happy to announce that I will be one of the artists featured tomorrow night at the zombie themed show / dance party Zombie Prom!

Here's a little preview of my piece, 'I'll Stay Here with You'




QX Collective Presents:
Zombie Prom 2013 Art show / Zombie Ball

One part art show and one part zombie ball - we'll be featuring zombie artwork created by totally radical local artists and jamming out like undead teenagers at prom.

To commemorate your special occasion, we will also be taking prom photos during the ball to put in your parent's living room. Make up artists will be around to accentuate your deadness! Oh yeah, as usual guest DJs will be dropping beats for the undead.

Everyone is encouraged to dress the part for the show opening. C'mon it's called "Zombie Prom." 

At least dress like an undead teenager or something.

Where: 
2524 Nicollete Ave #202, Mpls, MN 55404

When: 
Friday 10/25 : 7pm - Late

 



Hope to see you there!
xoxo,
