Bowie Art, Dance Party & Rock ‘n’ Roll Show: Post-Valentine’s Edition
A Night of Bowie: Art, Music, and Celebration in San Antonio on February 15, 2025, 4-8PM
San Antonio, TX – David Bowie’s legacy continues to shine in an electrifying evening of art, music, and rock ‘n’ roll at The Corn Pound (6335 Montgomery Road, San Antonio, TX) on Saturday, February 15, 2025, from 4 PM to 8 PM. This all-ages, free event will be a post-Valentine’s Day tribute to the Thin White Duke, featuring an exclusive showcase of 30 original Bowie portraits by artist and musician Marla Vee, along with works by Zan Lee DuRoy and Lucien Edwards.
More than just an art show, this immersive Bowie experience will feature a Bowie and glam rock dance party with DJ LORE spinning from 4 PM to 6 PM, followed by a live performance from Marla Vee & The Stud$, with a special surprise guest to be announced.
In addition to the visual and sonic feast, the event will include vendors such as Mala-X and Guru Graphics, offering unique Bowie-inspired merchandise. Attendees are encouraged to BYO (no glass, please!) and revel in the shared love for one of music’s most influential figures.
A portion of the event’s proceeds will benefit High Voltage Youth Music Program Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to empowering young musicians, led by Bell Solloa (Founder/Director/CEO). The event is hosted at The Corn Pound, a rock ‘n’ roll cultural hub founded by Jeff Smith (The Hickoids), ensuring a night of unfiltered, authentic celebration.
MARLA VEE: THE WOMAN BEHIND THE ART
Best known as the co-founder and guitarist of underground punk cult legends Rancid Vat and now fronting Marla Vee & The Stud$, Marla’s artistic journey is as fiercely independent as her music. Her connection to Bowie runs deep—so deep, in fact, that her first major art project was a Bowie mosaic created in 1976 while obsessively listening to David Live.
“My plan was just to make a shrine,” says Marla. “But I realized I was way out of practice in drawing, so I figured the best way to get better was to do 30 portraits.”
That creative resurgence—fueled by Bowie’s iconic imagery—turned into this one-night-only exhibition, a love letter to the man who redefined music, fashion, and identity.
“I really like his lyrics. I love his music, his face, his body, the way he moves, his clothes, his makeup—everything about him,” she says. “I would just sit there, staring at the David Live album cover, completely in love with him. I must have listened to it twice a night, five nights a week.”
A NIGHT TO REMEMBER
With a Bowie-themed atmosphere, live art, vinyl-spun glam classics, and an unapologetic rock show, Bowie Art, Dance Party & Rock ‘n’ Roll Show is more than an event—it’s a community gathering of fans, artists, and musicians keeping his spirit alive.
Don’t miss this unique tribute to the one and only David Bowie.
