ABOUT LAUNDRY PARTY
Laundry Party (LP) is a laidback, multidisciplinary salon-style series that takes place in LP-people’s living rooms, and occasionally at your neighborhood bar, cafe, and/or arts nonprofit organization. Founded in January 2009 by a couple of San Francisco artists looking for mini-deadlines and more opportunities to bask in community glow, LP has since expanded its sphere of activity to encompass New York City. Now a bicoastal laidback, multidisciplinary salon-style series for people with projects at various stages of development (and/or for people who support people with projects [PWP]), LP takes place on either coast a couple times a month, give or take a time, and every so often goes public.
