The Big Top

11/22/2013

Dear Artists, Collaborators and Friends,

You have probably heard by now that 3 Ring Circus is closing The Big Top. What a ride it has been! After 10.5 years of presenting visual and performing arts at The Big Top Gallery and Event Space (and 13 years of 3 Ring Circus) we are calling it a day!

In the past decade many New Orleans artists, bands and theater groups have gotten their start at The Big Top, including Mondo Bizarro, Cripple Creek Theater Company, and the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus, in addition to many individual artists. Additionally, we LOVED hosting the weddings, birthdays and other celebratory events of friends and loved ones over the years! 3 Ring Circus is proud to have created this art-centered environment to encourage creativity, collaboration and community.

Please join us to celebrate our legacy at The Big Top for The End of An Era Party this Friday, -TONIGHT- November 22 from 6–11 pm featuring live music by Narcissy and The Stacks, a silent auction, and more.

Additionally, on Saturday, November 23 from 9am–2pm, 3 Ring Circus will host a Garage Sale of furniture and fixtures including bar equipment, art supplies, office equipment, lighting, the disco ball, glassware, and more.

***If you are an artist who thinks you have work at The Big Top, please let me or Adele know and make arrangements to pick it up. If you would like to donate a piece to the art auction tonight, we will be happy to accept!

3 Ring Circus thanks you for your support over the years and hope to see you at tonight's celebration, truly, the Last Stop at the Big Top ~ The End of an Era!

Thanks,
Adele, Tracy and Kirah -- The original 3 Ring Circus
