On Saturday, April 22, SOMArts Cultural Center teams up with curator Kelly Lovemonster to transform our Main Gallery into a one-night-only art party and contemporary ball to benefit the cultural oasis under the 101 freeway known as SOMArts. For over 35 years, SOMArts has fostered access to the arts in the Bay Area, uplifting the voices of artists who are too often marginalized in the mainstream art world. The Pièce de RESISTance will showcase SOMArts as a cultural oasis in an event conceived entirely by artists to benefit SOMArts' programs. Guests will enjoy an evening of experimental performance, artist-designed installations, and dancing to a lineup of the Bay Area's finest DJs. Tickets are on sale now.
