2023 Members Gala
It’s Gala time – throw on those bow ties and ball gowns! Saturday, November 11th, we’re honoring the thriving community that helps make our mission possible each year. As a heartfelt thank you to those who make this community what it is, we’ve organized this year’s annual Members Gala. This year’s ‘Las Vegas’ themed black-tie event is hosted during the duration of Ubiquitous – Emily Quandahl’s first gallery-represented exhibition. Dress your best and prepare for a night of art, music, and surprise performances!
This year’s party will be fueled by the locally brewed beer from Finnegans Brew Co. and there will be plenty of drinks from BLNCD if THC/CBD seltzers are more your thing! The night will feature Omaur Bliss for a full night of dancing, Mike Davis with tricks of Illusion, Kitson Sass for a special burlesque performance, and Sean Anonymous as our headliner! If you are not a member yet but would love to join us for this festive occasion, memberships are available for purchase on our website.

Hailing from Minneapolis Minnesota DJ, producer, singer, rapper, and fitness educator Omaur Bliss released his self-titled debut album in 2005 and has been a prominent performer ever since. In recent years, Omaur Bliss has undergone an evolution, becoming a “Master of Ceremonies” in all aspects. Whether DJing a high-energy dance party, leading a relaxed yoga event, or hosting an elegant gala, Omaur Bliss has emerged as a dj and performer who can connect, energize, and move crowds of any demographic and age.
Mike Davis offers upbeat and mind-boggling close-up magic for you and yours. You won’t just watch from a distance, but you’ll interact and be part of the show as Mike creates miracles with playing cards directly under your noses and in the palms of your own hands. Based in Minneapolis, Mike has performed at events for Activision, Red Bull, Minnesota Public Radio, Children’s Cancer Research Fund, and more at venues such as First Avenue, Modist Brewing Company, Alamo Drafthouse, Turf Club, and Sisyphus Brewing Company.
Kitson is trained in dance, the aerial arts, and life. She’s a producer of the Nudie Nubie show, Camp Counselor at Tassels Off, and a member of Black Hearts Burlesque, Queer Circus, and GlitterCakes Burlesque. She’s performed on stages across the country, including The Burlesque Hall of Fame stage in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022. When she’s not melting your hearts, Kitson enjoys boxed wine and long walks on the beach with her cats. Tits, ass, and a whole lotta class, it’s Kiston Sass!!
Sean Anonymous has been hailed by critics and audiences for his relentless energy and enigmatic style. His crafty wordplay and humble honesty are a breath of fresh air in an industry clamoring for authentic messaging. In 2012 Sean released his first solo debut, the Anonymo E.P. Anonymo displayed his full range of talent, quickly gaining attention from college radio and hip-hop fans nationwide. It rose to #5 on the CMJ charts and remained there for twelve straight weeks, leading to a highlight slot at the CMJ Music Marathon in New York. The momentum hasn’t stopped since. He’s achieved everything from a strictly DIY standpoint, building success off pure passion, drive, and raw ability.
No stranger to big stages and bright lights, the past few years have kept Sean on the move. A U.S tour with Del the Funky Homosapien, performing at Soundset, and appearances on Sirius XM have all recently become notches on Sean’s belt. With an insatiable appetite for connecting with fans, Sean’s words can be heard resonating throughout the world with him rapping everywhere from the L.A. to New York City and Jamaica to Ireland.
