Yelp's Art in Action 2016

What/Why:

LAST CHANCE TO RSVP!

Yelp's Art in Action 2016 celebrates the creativity of Louisville and beyond!

This third annual event will feature beautiful eats, exquisite drinks, interactive exhibitions and engrossing performances from some of Louisville's most innovative businesses, nonprofits and groups in the iconic Louisville Palace.

From Louisville's ground-breaking culinary scene to its Possibility City spirit, creativity is intrinsic to what makes the Derby City so weird and wonderful. So we say revel in it! It will be a night chock full of more interesting scenes than you'll be able to point a smartphone at -- though you're welcome to try.

And the best part is that admission is FREE, with confirmed RSVP. All food and activities are free, and drink samples will be provided by Yelp. There will also be cash bars. This event is 21+.

A suggested $10 donation will be requested at the door for our main non-profit sponsor, Strive (strive502.org), which seeks to provide creative wellness education and services to the Louisville community.

*** THIS EVENT IS 21+. PROPER ID WILL BE REQUESTED AT THE EVENT.
*** YOU MUST HAVE A CONFIRMATION EMAIL TO ATTEND. Just because you RSVP'ed, that does not mean you got in.
*** THERE ARE NO +1s. EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO ATTEND MUST RSVP INDIVIDUALLY.
*** MAKE SURE THAT YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS ARE SET TO ALLOW YELP EMAILS. To do this, go to yelp.com/profile, click on Email/Notifications and check "Receive emails from Yelp."
*** LIMITED SPACE -- aka don't dilly dally, friend! If we get RSVPs that exceed our capacity, we will put folks on a waitlist.
*** DEADLINE TO RSVP: 4 p.m. Nov. 3 or whenever capacity is reached, whichever comes first.
*** Up your odds of getting in by having a profile pic on your Yelp account.
