Event

Steampunk Bridgeport

Greetings from the Steampunk Bridgeport Planning Committee,
Steampunk Bridgeport, in partnership with Made In Bridgeport, Arcade Mall Bpt , Downtown Special
Services District, Create Here Now, Magnacon 7, WAN and various small businesses and friends who
love and follow Steampunk's alternative culture are planning a fantastic event. The collective called ,
"Steampunk Bridgeport," will take place in the Arcade Mall located at 1001 Main Street Downtown Bridgeport on Saturday, April 12th

"Steampunk" is a mind-expanding alternative culture, highlighting a re-examination of the art and design of the late 1800's/ early 19th century. This exciting world-wide phenomenon melds Victorian steam power and science with 21st

The result is an eclectic gathering of artists, performers, costume designers, storytellers, and inventors. This Steampunk event will draw traffic to downtown Bridgeport, the Arcade Mall, and local businesses as well as showcase artists, designers and vendors during the event. Our goal will create future events, meet-up groups, and connect the Steampunk Community to Bridgeport's architecture and history, the Barnum Museum, our libraries, music venues, theaters and various locations throughout the Park City
where Steampunk belongs.

Our event will include a fashion show created by Redfield Designs/ Katheryn Paterwic, a juried art exhibition of artists from the tri-state region, music and theater vignettes by local artists and vendors selling their Steampunk creations. The evening culminates with a Steampunk movie, "The City of Lost Children."
