MAN ON THE MOON: a SQUARE ONE Creative Event Back
SQUARE ONE’S ANNUAL SPRING CREATIVE EVENT 2011: THE SEVENTH EDITION OF THE
TAMPA BAY AREA’S POPULAR AND LARGEST LOCAL ART, DANCE, MUSIC AND FASHION
EXTRAVAGANZA
On Saturday, April 2, 2011, Square One will present their spring 2011 and 7th Square One Creative Event called MAN ON THE MOON.
The RITZ Ybor will once again be home to the art, music, dance and fashion extravaganza that will feature 75 local artists along with over
100 musicians, dancers, models and performers. More than 1,500 attendees are expected at MAN ON THE MOON.
Each Square One Creative Event revolves around a selected theme. Artists and performers are asked to present their work based on the
chosen theme which involves specific concepts, colors and subject matter. Audiences are allowed to participate in the event by
incorporating the event theme elements into their wardrobe and attire.
The theme of MAN ON THE MOON revolves around the concept of history vs. fiction. Neil Armstrong’s historic and infamous landing on
the moon in 1969 can be viewed as either one of mankind’s greatest triumphs or as one of history’s greatest hoaxes. Select artists will be
asked to present their take on a historical event or conspiracy theory. Audiences will be encouraged to incorporate the theme colors into
their attire by wearing the colors black and white at the event.
Occurring biannually at The RITZ Ybor, Square One Creative Events have drawn an audience of over 12,000 attendees since their launch
in the spring of 2008.
MAN ON THE MOON, a Square One Creative Event, is open to the general public of all ages. There will be a $4.00 donation at the door
on the night of the event. Reserved seating and V.I.P. tables are available by e-mailing rsvp@squareoneflorida.com. Doors open at 7pm
and the event will last until midnight. The Ballroom Stage showcase at MAN ON THE MOON will start at 9pm and feature performances
