Art for Progress continues its 15 year anniversary celebration on Saturday, November 2^nd with a spine tingling event- “Dancing with the Devil.”   

“Dancing with the Devil” is set in an old defunct multi-level comedy club in the east village where Andy Kaufman and Steve Buscemi used to host events back in the day. We’ve called on a select group of artists to help us transform the space into a haunted house of sorts with creative installations and visuals  Expect the vibes of old east village artist parties where artists came together to create and carry on.

You’ll need to grab a ticket for this one- $15 Adv. (includes 1 drink) It’s also BYOB!
