Wild Things Ball

We’re leaving 301 Conti Street with the biggest, baddest, art party of the year! If you haven’t heard, our building is going under construction, so we’re taking our show on the road in 2025.
Ongoing membership is the most effective way for visitors and businesses to support our mission, but here at ACAC we can’t (and won’t) just throw your run-of-the-mill membership drive to show you what we’re about. We’re throwing the wildest party we can muster, with food, specialty cocktails provided by Cathead Distillery, costumes, music, and above all: art. The Wild Things Ball is a biennial ACAC member blowout happening before All Hallows Eve, where we can all flex our creativity and get weird.
Proto-feminist Icon, Animal Rights Activist and Performance artist, Sir William Masters, will emerge from retirement to host the evening with a special co-host only revealed to those who attend. Short-fire dance and costume competitions will happen throughout the night, with prizes distributed by celebrity judges including the illustrious Courtney Matthews, Chocolat, and MMofA Director Jon Carfagno. We’ll have original performances by Kalypso Elegantz & Chaii Summers, Pixie Van Dyke, Braxton Hicks, Peaches a la Mode, Kitty Valentina, Keke Zorra, Mena Gerie, and Gingee Grenade, and DJ sets by VJ Tay, Kandon Kyser, and DJ Bob.
You must be 21+ years of age to attend this event.
