Knowledge of creation
The Dawn of Man
Now approaching its 17th year, The Evaline continues to be home and canvas to an eclectic blend of artisans, performers, creators and dreamers. In that time, a singular event has come to define the very nature of all the Evaline stands for: the annual Halloween extravaganza. Each year the Evaline is rebuilt and reconfigured to become a vessel for the imagination; which is why in 2006 it was listed by SPIN Magazine as one of America’s top Halloween events. Within the hallowed halls of this seemingly average Victorian home anything and everything that can be imagined is made real.
Living outside of history
Once yearly the Evaline opens it’s doors to select thinkers and invites these guests to witness bold acts of creation. Within this thin splinter of time, memories are forged and fantasies are realized. From homemade roller coasters to ethereal star chambers, from recreations of Coney Island to the beaches of Normandy, the Evaline presents fully immersible worlds for guests to explore. Strange and fantastic artifacts, bewildering tableaus and interactive art await those brave souls who dare entry!
"Its origin and purpose are still a total mystery."
Beyond the Infinite!
