Dames of Yore
Come one come all to Dames of Yore - a whimsical open mic salon presented by Salon Avec Moi making your medieval dreamscape wishes come true at the setting of the Seaport Museum in Lower Manhattan.
This salon you can imbibe in edibles provided by Sundae Flowers, snacks and drinks, and stop by our glitter booth to sparkle in makeup or a glitter tattoo by MUA Carly Moore - all included in your ticket purchase. For an additional cost, salon goers can purchase tickets to participate in the fashion raffle to win a new item for your closet while helping give back to The Trevor Project - the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention nonprofit organization for LGBTQ+ young people providing information & support to LGBTQ+ young people 24/7, all year round.
Location Accessibility: Guests must navigate two steep, historic steps without handrails.
Please note this salon is 21+ age guests only.
If you don't already know we take our themes very seriously. To get in on the magic and inspiration click here to start brainstorming.
This is an OPEN MIC style salon!
If you want to perform!
Below you will find a sign-up sheet for classical artists (both singers and instrumentalists welcome!) and two slots designated for musical theatre singers to perform with the accompanist during the evening. The sign-up is first come first serve—once the slots are gone they’re gone! Please note that if you are performing you do not have to pay for a ticket for the evening; however, if you bring a guest they are required to purchase one and will not be let into the event unless they have done so.
LINK TO PERFORMANCE SIGN-UP HERE
If you can no longer perform please send notice—slide in @salonavecmoi’s DM’s on Instagram, email Karlye at salonavecmoi@gmail.com and/or remove yourself from the sign-up sheet to allow someone to fill your space.
Let’s talk about the ticket cost
The price of this ticket ensures artists get to attend the event and have an accompanist at no cost to them. Thank you for helping Salon Avec Moi provide a space for them and us all to do what we are supposed to do with the arts—to play and have fun.
A note from Salon Avec Moi founder
Hi, my name's Karlye Whitt. I'm an ex-opera singer currently in Brooklyn, NY, an employee of the non-profit performing arts, mother to a fluffy cloud of a cat named Cappi, and a recent MA graduate at NYU for Performing Arts Administration. During my time on both sides of the table in the opera industry I witnessed the disconnect of community and the classical arts, and to lightly put it, the individuals that world caters and bends itself to. Meanwhile my friends and I indulged in our vices and sang to our own salons at weddings, graduation celebrations, and get togethers. A safe place to run a piece for the first time, a place to sing a role you would never actually perform, to be nostalgic, to be together in the moment. I hope you walk away from the salon feeling like you belong because that's how our salons have always felt to me.
