2013-04-13 "Steampunk in the Trunk"
Saturday, 2:00pm until 8:00pm
at the Benicia Tannery Building, 129/131 First Street, Benicia, CA
Contact: Arts Benicia, 707-747-0131, [artsbenicia.org]
The Steampunk genre is a fictional mash of Victorian, wild West, steam power, science fiction with an industrial edge. This one-day trunk show will include 14 local artists and designers who work in the Steampunk genre. Clothing, hats, goggles, leather accessories, jewelry, art and sculpture will featured, but the highlight will be the four art cars and two art bikes (one is an electric-steam hybrid), many of which are regulars at the Burning Man festival.
Diamond Dolls models will showcase Steampunk clothing and accessories in an interactive fashion show from 4pm – 6pm. Fiddlers, cellists and vocalists will provide music with flavors of Gypsy, Django and street-corner grooves.
The event is being hosted by Arts Benicia, Cinder Garden Designs, Cullen’s Tannery Pub and the merchants of the Tannery Building. Guests of all ages are welcome in the Tannery, but must be 21 to enter Cullen’s Pub.
