LOCUST PROJECTS BINGO BASH WAS A SMASH!
Miami, FL – June 9, 2023 – More than 250 artists, collectors, and patrons gathered at Locust Projects for a lively night of fun and games at BINGO BASH, a disco-themed Spring/Summer Fundraiser. This was the first BINGO BASH held since 2020 - and it did not disappoint!
The ultra fabulous ADORA and her partner Teddy Behr served as the night's MCs calling out bingo numbers to a room full of players hoping to get lucky and win one of the twenty curated art experiences and selection of artworks by Locust artist alums.
The competition heated up when more than one person calling BINGO resulted in the crowd going wild over disco dance-off tie-breakers.
This year’s BINGO BASH fundraiser featured amazing works donated by current, past and upcoming exhibiting artists Leo Castañeda, Jen Clay, Rafael Domenech, Adler Guerrier, Pepe Mar, and Christina Pettersson, in addition to Locust Projects editions, local and international art experiences AND a special mystery art prize - an incredible painting by Jean-Baptiste Bernadet!
BINGO was followed by the BASH after party with ADORA spinning disco tunes bringing out everyone's inner dancing queen under the glow of the mirror ball. Delicious drinks sponsored by Bacardi, Unseen Creatures, and Topo Chico, and tasty bites sponsored by Versailles, Shake Shack, and Half Moon Empanadas added fuel to the evening's fun and revelry.
Bingo Bash was hosted by the INNOVATORS, Locust Projects network of art lovers connecting over a passion for the latest in art and ideas as part of the organization's 25th anniversary year as Miami's longest running alternative art space.
