Chuck's Picks - "Project Art Show Series"
Nov 18, 2011
Since the '90s, "Project Art Show Series" has covered NY's art scene with "wit and whimsy," and even though most episodes are still from the '90s, they retain a glow from that summery time, when independent artists could actually make a living here. Much of the work presented is as 'fringe' as the show itself - awkward, silly pieces that mix well with the odd editing and comic segments. Tune in for nostalgia and admire the art on both sides: first and third Mondays of every month at 10 PM on MNN2!

Nov 4, 2011
"Harper's Bazzaro World" is a weekly karaoke dance party hosted by drag queen extraordinaire, Ms. Demure.

A truly Bazzaro world: every Thursday night/Friday morning at 1:30 AM on MNN1!
