June 28 Susanne Bartsch presents KUNST!
Susanne Bartsch is New York City's patron saint of transformation and inclusion. The parties she's thrown for three decades—from Paris to Tokyo—have provided a venue for countless creative souls and "creatures" to express themselves, come together and forget the hum-drum of the everyday. Launching in 1987, her weekly parties became the place to see and be seen for a trendsetting group of New Yorkers and ushered in a new era in nightlife, one that mixed uptown and downtown, gay and straight, chic and street. Susanne has become notorious for the beautiful, strange, and outlandishly dressed people who flock to her events. The colorful crowds have followed her for 3 decades and still gather at her current weekly bashes in New York and special events around the world. Join Verboten for this Pride Week edition of KUNST!
