CAN CAN 2016

Join the artists, galleries and nonprofits of the Collective Arts Network for the celebration of its CAN Journal. This year’s annual benefit, CAN CAN 2016, takes place today from 7 p.m. to midnight at 78th Street Studios. Admission from 7 to 8:30 p.m. is $75 and includes an open bar, hors d’oeuvres, a Buy-It-Now Auction and live music from the Chris Vance Trio. Starting at 8:30 p.m., admission is $25 and includes a cash bar, pizza, silent auction and music from DJ Ape Bleakney, owner of Ape Made. The highlight of the evening, the karaoke competition, begins at 9:30 p.m. Last year’s first place performance of Aquarius/Let the Sunhine In from the ladies of Zygote Press caused an impromptu dance party to break out. Tickets are on sale now through CAN Journal’s website (http://canjournal.org/2016benefit/). (Usmani) 1305 West 80th St., canjournal.org.
