Coney Island USA’s “Science of the Sideshow” with Adam Realman

Join MFTA for a festive Earth Month celebration featuring workshops with Coney Island USA’s Adam Rinn (aka Adam Realman) and NYC tattoo artist Framacho. Using MFTA supplies, Realman will showcase some of the most iconic Coney Island boardwalk acts, from sword-swallowing to magic tricks in his “Science of the Sideshow” interactive performance. Framacho will lead guests through a writing workshop with materials from the overflowing shelves at MFTA.

At this event, MFTA also welcomes attendees to tour Artist-in-Residence Sui Park’s exhibit, “A Kaleidoscope of Lines/ Forms/ Patterns,” on view at MFTA Gallery through June 6, 2023.

Coney Island is hosting an array of events in April, including the Conjurer’s Convention, the Print Arcade, Doctor Finnegan’s Circus, and more! Visit Coney Island USA’s website to explore.
