Visual art. Live painting. Live music. Tattooing. Performance art. Creativity comes in many forms, and we're ready to celebrate all of them. Our annual Artopia event happens Saturday evening, May 2, in Anaheim's Business Expo Center. Expect all of the above, plus interactive displays from the 20 winners of OC Weekly's The Creatives contest. How's that for entertainment?
The party also celebrates our upcoming People Issue, celebrating 30 prominent individuals in our community. We've got the details and presale scoop to sweeten the deal. Just keep reading.

The liquor, beer and wine are covered, so don't you think about that. We've also added caffeine from a certain Keurig Coffee Truck to keep you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Organizers are being selective with details, but we know Tamarind of London is on the list of restaurants feeding the masses.
Purchasing tickets is as follows: $25 for General Admission sips and bites; $45 for VIP. In addition to expedited entry, those very important people are rewarded with a trio of exclusive cocktails, plus a private lounge (with separate restrooms– because cocktails). The link to purchase tickets at 10 a.m. can be found right here. Use the code MEFIRST to access. The link and code are good through March 9 at 10 p.m. As our fearless leader would say, Go Go Go and Buy Buy Buy!
