Deastro at CAID for Something Cold Monthly dance party features Ghostly International artist
February is the shortest month of the year and it often feels bad, its
cold, its dirty, its short lived and hosts a holiday that celebrates
sex, love, and candy. Its certainly a sticky dirty little month! Its an
important month for Something Cold as we welcome our very
surreal electronic guests DEASTRO (Ghostly International) to our monthly frozen party.
DJ Justin Carver will be spinning the usual minimal-synth, cold wave, industrial, and weirdo jams all night.
The Young and the Restless Closing party for exhibition at CAID
Formerlly know as Yelp's Art Attack, the Young and the Restless exhibition was such a success that juror Aaron Timlin decided to give it additional exposure by holding a special exhibition closing reception on Saturday, February 13 from 6pm to 11pm.
During the reception CAID members will be able to vote for three artists for an opportunity to exhibit a larger body of work. The top vote getter will receive their own solo exhibition in the second floor gallery at the CAID. This time CAID members decide who will exhibit at CAID. Each member may cast one vote for up to three artists during the exhibition reception on February 13th between 6pm and 11pm. The winner will be announced in the CAID e-newsletter sent out the week of February 15th.
The exhibition reception is free and open to the public. Only members of CAID will be permitted to vote for their favorite artists. Anyone can become a member by joining online or at the gallery in person. To join online go to:

Yelp about CAID!
Yelper Sara "Lady Fantastic" A. says, "Located on Rosa Parks Blvd, in the most unassuming little building the CAID is one of Detroit's freshest and innovative art spaces. If you're not really looking, I mean really looking for this joint, you'll drive by it a million and one times. The small sign proclaiming its name it's difficult to see, so be prepared.
I've been to the CAID a number of times and am always impressed. The art shows have featured some of Metro Detroit's finest upcoming artists from photographs to sculptors to painters. You just never know what you're gonna get here and that's what I like..." More Yelps...
