Cat Museum of New York City's Beauty Bar Dance Party Fundraiser

We think cat people deserve a space to celebrate their love of felines! So we're throwing a fall fundraiser dance party for the Cat Museum of New York City (CMNYC) to make that happen for one night—and, with your help, beyond!

The CMNYC party happens in the back room of Beauty Bar, a storied East Village bar that has been serving cocktails for 25 years against a backdrop of vintage seating (50s-60s hairdryers).

Dance the night away with DJ Pusa (CMNYC co-founder Reynard Loki), DJ Snellygaster, and DJ Stankface (Marisa Wong)!

Enjoy purr-lesque featuring burlesque performer Gemma Stone (@gemmastoneburlesque), host of Catbaret (@catbaretshow)!

You can also enter a raffle to win paw-some cat-themed prizes.

Featuring a special cat-themed cocktail ($1 of each sale will go to CMNYC) in the back room crafted by Beauty Bar's bartender and cat artist Stella.

There will be a photobooth for purr-fect memories to be captured. We will also provide a glam station with makeup in case you forget to draw on your whiskers or cat eyes before you arrive. Cat-themed attire is strongly encouraged!

Deck your claws out with manicures in the front room (option to add on a cat-themed nail decal).

About CMNYC:

We're planning the launch of the Cat Museum of New York City (catmuseumnyc.org), a proposed museum of cat art in NYC that will be the cultural leader on all things feline. As we plan pop-up events and eventually a purr-manent location, we need your support!

The museum's goal is to educate the public about cat care, cats' historical and cultural significance, and TNR and other cat rescue topics. We also hope to get the next generation interested in becoming veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and rescuers and to encourage general support of affordable veterinary care.

We think having a pet cat should not be a luxury, especially when so many friendly cats need homes and so many friendly people need cats.

Note: CMNYC's co-founders are currently in the process of registering as a nonprofit, so donations are not currently tax-deductible.
