CIRQUE NOIR: ART IN ACTION GALA 2026
At Woolly Mammoth, we’re proud to exist at the intersection of art and activism, giving visionary artists the spark to ignite our imaginations.
In a world that too often feels like a dark circus of censorship and playing it safe, we’re standing firmly behind art that provokes, disrupts, and electrifies.
Join us on April 30, 2026 for our CIRQUE NOIR: ART IN ACTION GALA! This party of epic proportions will bring you behind the curtain into the world of Woolly that embraces and champions COURAGEOUS art!
EVENT DETAILS
Expect a ground-breaking, earth-shattering, boundary-shaking evening filled with uncensored artistry at every twisted turn. Step into Woolly’s Cirque Noir and be transported to an evening of daring eats, twirling drinks, shocking performances, and moving testimony.
