What: The Steampunk and Maker's Fair
When: November 9th 11:00am-7:30pm
Where: Cite Des Arts, Vine Street, The Lafayette Science Museum, Polk/Congress Streets
Cité
Des Arts and The Lafayette Science Museum announce their joint
adventure: The "Steampunk and Maker's Fair", a celebration of the
connection between Science and the Arts.
The
Steampunk movement started as a literary genre that is associated with
the industrialization of the late 1800's and the futuristic spirit of
Jules Verne. It has expanded into music, costuming, accessories, and
invention. Enter the "Maker's", who are both inventors and producers
that bring their unique ideas to life for the rest of society. These
innovators are the engines that drive a healthy economy. The "marriage"
of these two unique groups will showcase Lafayette as an incubator for
creative people and inventors, including existing businesses.
Begnaud
Manufacturing is the Title Sponsor for this event, and Noble Plastics,
and William Goode are Major Sponsors. InventureWorks will be organizing
"The Vault" Pitch event for UL & SLCC Students of Industrial Design,
Architecture, and Engineering during the Fair. The Lousiana Beard and
Facial Hair Association will be organizing the Beard and Facial Hair
contests.
The
Festival will feature live performance, including music, contests of
all kinds (fashion, literary, beards, etc.) demonstrations, food, and
vendors. The Festival will take place at Cite Des Arts, Vine Street, The
Lafayette Science Museum, Congress Street, Polk Street, and the
Lafayette Public Library. Special performances for "Steampunk after
Dark" will be an original musical by Travis Guillory called "The
Undertaker and His Wife", and a Special performance of "Boom Boom
