The week of July 4th, known as ‘Cowboy Christmas’, indicates a very lucrative week full of surprises and elation, tons of rodeos and oodles of money to be won. It's grueling and spectacular at the same time. Gift wrapped in expectations, adrenaline, and money. - Connolly Saddlery
Fundraiser and Membership Drive: Saturday, December 2nd, 7-11pm
Members get in free, sliding scale tickets available for non-members starting at $10
On December 2nd, we are ringing in the holidays with an anti-soiree, a mirror to our summer fundraiser, a Chirstmans-in-July-in-December. A casual fundraiser and membership drive benefiting our spring programs.
Featuring live music and your favorite holiday hits performed by Lesly Reynaga (with Mariachi band) and Dickie Lee Erwin, films by hyperreal film club, Christmas Carol karaoke, art-making competitions, a holiday costume contest, food by Micklethwait BBQ, and a charity cheer bar sponsored by Austin Beer Works, The Austin Shaker, Tito's Handmade Vodka, Lalo Tequila, Still Austin, Vago Mezcal, and more!
Similar to our summer fundraiser MATCHES, all funds raised — whether it’s from new memberships, tickets to the event, bar donations, or BBQ sales — will be matched by one of our generous donors, community business partners, or event sponsors! It’s all the fun of a holiday party while doubling your donations and impact, which means the more you give the more we are able to support artists in our community and continue delivering the programming y’all know and love.
Over the past 15 years, Co-Lab has produced over 400 exhibitions and performances showcasing hundreds of local, national, and international artists. In addition to its primary programming, Co-Lab is an established and revered gathering space for community building through its free educational programs, events, collaborations, and participation in regional and international fairs and festivals.
We look forward to continuing this work with your support! Help us help artists by coming out to the event on December 2nd! To get involved, donate, or contribute to this holiday fundraiser please write us at hello@co-labprojects.org!
Cheers,
The Co-Lab Team
