Well, maybe not Picasso but tonight's Kick Ass Art Show (mildly NSFW) is where art and the adult film industry come together. Kick Ass Pictures (which proudly claims that all their videos feature real breasts and no condoms) hosts an art show/party at their downtown warehouse featuring artists like Marleigh Atherton (artwork pictured) and Michael Hayden as well as work from the current Alan Scott Gallery exhibit featuring Westside Underground artists.
This is the third show for Kick Ass Pictures and they've gotten quite a large crowd each time. We're sure all the darting eyed gentleman with their hands in their pockets are there to enjoy fine art first. The glass-heeled bartenders and naked twister are just a bonus.
The show runs from 9 PM till 2 AM and a $5 donation is requested at the door. It is a commission free show so if you happen to buy a little Puss all the money will go to the artist.
