This Saturday at the Hive Will Be a Complete Circus!

Step right up ladies and gents! Because this Saturday's shows will be one not to miss.

Gather 'round boys and gals, the circus is in town again at the Hive Gallery, as this Saturday will feature the amazing return of the Hive Gallery's much adored Circus Circus theme. 

Break out your stilts and clown shoes. Drape your favorite bearded lady from your arm!

Come one, come all this Saturday, June 2

at 729 South Spring Street

in Downtown Los Angeles 90014

Showtime is from 8 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.

Come as you are for $8 at the door.

Or be better than a normy! Come in your best sideshow circus chic for $5

Watch us get our freak show on as we outdo our last year's costumes!

Watch me get my watchbot on as I display my watchbot circus-themed piece in the main room.

And that's not all folks. Because  Bizarro au Go-go has a special treat for us all in the main room!

But there is more! I'll have two more large watchbot pieces on display in the backroom and a fine selection of discounted steampunk jewelry. You can walk away knowing that all proceeds raised for my art at this show will go to the funding of my daughter's sweet sixteen birthday! =)

This is certainly no time to be sitting down on the job. Even if these watchbots seem to be sitting down for this picture! Maybe they're just resting up before swinging with ease from the flying trapeze...

And last, but never least, we will also be featuring the awesome art work of the lovely Meirav Haber.

And that's not all! After the Hive Festivities, Mother and her insane circus posse will be heading towards Perish's Goddess & Warriors after-party to dance till the break of dawn! You can check out the info here!
