The Bad Ass Kick Off Party for the Big Ass Craft Show

Mad Art Gallery and Craft Mafia are proud to present the area's most talented craftspeople and artists for the City's premier indie art and craft show. Our 2009 holiday show offers three days of shopping (December 4, 5 and 6) in St. Louis' most spectacular and well-known venue for art exhibitions and unique events. Our show focuses on presenting original art and hand-made crafts of the highest quality in a shopping environment designed to provide you with a pleasurable shopping experience.

Friday night we will provide entertainment by one of Madison's favorite bands, The Venice Gas House Trolley. This band hearkens back to the times when hipsters and cool-cats would chill out digging ecstatic poets and musicians and then aggressively explodes through the present and into the future with vocal effects, bass, and twisting rhythms.

The band will flow into St. Louis' Mad Art Gallery on Friday December 4, 2009 at 7:00 p.m.
