They say laughter is the best medicine. Laughter can’t cure your illness, but it can spread joy throughout the body and soul and definitely aid in the healing process. Take a look into the work Julie Pasqual does with Healthy Humor, visiting sick and injured kids as a Hospital Clown in Harlem Hospital.

Real Magician vs Clown Magician
Spectator Party Art has a series of videos that show how a magician might do a magic trick and how a clown might perform the same magic trick. These can be a good source for inspiration of different ways to customize a magic trick.

Hirshhorn Spring Gala 2018
The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden brought back the electrifying decade of MTV, Madonna and neon at its spring gala Saturday, May 12, hosting more than 300 revelers for an evening of performances and dancing. In celebration of the Hirshhorn’s current exhibition “Brand New: Art and Commodity in the 1980s,” and its commitment to bringing the work of leading artists to Washington, the museum recognized Jeff Koons for his role in transforming contemporary art in the 1980s.
Art and culture enthusiasts discovered the Hirshhorn transformed for a late-night ’80s party, featuring a one-night-only commissioned dessert performance by artist Jennifer Rubell, custom ’80s-themed cocktails and tables of decadent vintage-inspired desserts and candy. Crowds gathered to toast Koons, ejoying Rubell’s dessert performance before cutting loose to the decade’s iconic soundtrack, spun by DJ Jus Ske.
Rubell is known for participatory installations that often use food as a medium. For her first commissioned performance in Washington, “Send in the Clowns,” Rubell staged 30 professional clowns throughout Hirshhorn’s inner ring, inviting guests to join wild and wacky challenges to earn chocolate, such as spinning plates and shooting balloon arrows.

More about the Clown Summit at Moose Camp
I fully support the idea of having clowns gather to discuss the current state of clowning and brainstorm ways to address the issues.
Sharing content from Mooseburger.
Who ever thought the day would come when we would need to protect clowning?
The Clown Summit at Mooseburger Campwill address the serious issues facing clowns today.
The sad and pathetic trend of the “scary clown” has been poisoning the minds of Americans for years, but recently the problem has gotten worse.
Now it is affecting our livelihood and our vocation.
We need to PROMOTE, PROTECT, AND PRESERVE the Art of Clowning now and for generations to come.
Clowns do a GREAT job at telling jokes, but we do a poor job communicating serious issues.
The time has come for us to join forces in order to decide how we will address the issues facing clowns in this new hostile environment.
- Will you help the cause?
- Or will you let clowns continue to be bullied?
- Don’t let clowning become a dying art.
- Join the fight!
- We need your voice. We need your ideas.

The Clown Summit at Mooseburger Camp
Do you subscribe to Pricilla Mooseburger’s weekly newsletter? You can subscribe on the Mooseburger Website. Last week’s newsletter included a blog post that proposes a “Clown Summit” to combat coulrophobia (the fear of clowns), educate the uninformed public about the consequences of masquerading as “fake clowns”, and defend #REALCLOWNS.
Below, I am sharing Pricilla’s post to help spread the word. Original posted at The Clown Summit at Mooseburger Camp
The Clown Summit at Mooseburger Camp
Recently at the Clowns of America International convention I made an exciting announcement.
You see, I have been struggling to come up with an idea since the movement away from clowns being a source of joy to something frightening. I have been a clown since 1980. All these years of teaching, costuming, and performing have been a real blessing.
I feel so close to the clown community because I talk to you every day. It might be about a wig, or a make-up issue, you may share a fun performance idea or what is going on in your local club. You have also shared with me your frustrations and disappointments. You called when you were asked not to wear your make-up, were told you were no longer welcome because “kids are afraid”, when a lucrative business became not so lucrative anymore.
I was saddened, angered, and frustrated on your behalf.
Please forgive me if I have become possessive and protective when it comes to “my clowns” as I fondly call you.
I am not the kind of person to throw up their hands and say “Okay, that’s just the way it is!”
Too much joy and happiness is at stake.
It is true: I was in the ranks of the truly discouraged — until recently.
