2015 Steampunk Street Fair: Art Cars & Costumes | Benicia

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The 2015 Art Walk season kicks-off with an all day Exploration of Steampunk on First Street in Benicia from noon to 9 pm on Saturday, April 11, 2015.

Neighboring artists from Vallejo’s Obtainium Works Studio and guests artists will be showcasing art cars, art work, sculpture, clothing and jewelry inspired by this fictional genre that mixes Victorian with Wild West and Jules Verne.

There will even be an Absinthe Tasting at 6 pm at Cullen’s Tannery Pub ($10 at the door). Full steam ahead.

Obtainium Works is the home base of the Hibernian Academy of UnNatural Sciences, based in Vallejo, California. Recently relocated from The Shipyard in Berkeley, it is an on-going Do It Yourself (DIY) group of tinkerers, gearheads, and steam bohemians who fabricate steam-powered art out of repurposed industrial detritus.

Benicia’s Art Walk takes place on the second Saturday of each month.
