Closing Party for February Exhibit Friday, Feb 26th - 6 pm to ???
Special events next month:
Kitty Victorian, the quintessence of Burlesque, will perform at the opening of the annual MOCA DC Erotic Art Show in Georgetown on March 5. Miss Kitty will emcee an amateur burlesque contest and will open the show with a performance of her own featuring extravagant costumes draped in rhinestones and feathers and wrapped in sultry boas.
The annual erotic art show at MOCA DC has become one of DC’s top crowd-pleasing shows with over 300 in attendance at last year’s reception. Erotic art from artists throughout the region will be on display throughout the month. The March 5, 2010 reception promises to break all records.
MOCA DC’s executive director, Dave Quammen said, “All ladies from throughout the Washington, DC region are welcome to fashion their best erotic costume and come on down to shake their stuff for our crowd. By crowd response, we’ll be selecting the top three performances of the evening with three cash awards of $100 for first place, $50 for second place and $25 for third place. But regardless, win or lose, everyone will be a winner! It will be an evening with the best entertainment in town. After the amateur burlesque show, the ladies are welcome to serve as human-canvases for our body painters.
"I also want to thank JR Harke Photography, Inc., our corporate sponsor for the 2010 Erotic Art Show at MOCA DC. Jerry Harke, owner of the company, has been a loyal member of MOCA DC for several years and has assisted with programming on a number of occasions. This time, he's bringing in Kitty Victorian as a special guest performer. Her top-notch reputation in the world of burlesque is sure to bring a good crowd and many amateur burlesque contestants for our opening reception."
