| Venus Envy Invades the Quad Cities – All Female Arts Extravaganza Venus Envy is a celebration of female creativity, empowering women through the arts of music, dance, theatre, visual arts, multimedia installations, written and spoken word. Venus Envy’s exhibits are renowned for their eye-popping array of media, styles, and content. All participating artists are from within a 200-mile radius of the Quad Cities. Fifty visual artists have been selected to participate in Venus Envy Quad Cities. With so many artists the variety of work is startling, although one prevailing theme is the strength of women. The evening’s performances will showcase a variety of work from ballet to flamenco, folk music to drums, original theatre and music, and the ever-favorite belly dancing on two stages. For the first time, one stage will be located outside near Bucktown. New this year is the addition of outside activities (weather permitting) including a Bohemian old-world inspired marketplace with artists selling as well as demonstrating their art form and original artist multimedia installations. A string trio of the Quad City Symphony Orchestra will perform throughout the evening. Venus Envy was founded in St. Louis in 1999 and has since expanded to include sister cities including the Quad Cities and Baton Rouge – all located along the Mississippi River. The Venus Envy Quad Cities event is free to the public; donations will be accepted. The content of all shows is intended for mature audiences. Venus Envy is sponsored by Riverboat Development Authority, MidCoast Fine Arts, Hanson-Watson Associates, Paragon Interiors, Strauss Architectural Systems, and River Cities’ Reader.
