Surreal Salon Soiree

Characterized by cartoon characters, cult classic films and pop-inspired works of full-blown imagination, the Baton Rouge Gallery’s Surreal Salon Soiree seeks to weave pop surrealism and lowbrow art into the local culture. The event Saturday night brings together wild costumes, live music, interactive exhibits and a juried show. The fifth annual soiree will feature a performance by The New Orleans Bingo! Show, music by local electronic musician Matt Cee, a multimedia installation by Elevator Projects and performances by contemporary dance-theatre group Of Moving Colors. Guests are encouraged to participate in the surrealism-inspired costume contest to celebrate the show and the artists’ work. 7 p.m.-11 p.m. Tickets are $17-$22 in advance, $20-$25 at the door. batonrougegallery.org
