SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN: Meet local urban and graffiti artists and view their work during "Fresh," an art opening and New Year's party at Lakeview's A.Okay Official. DJs Madrid and Sadie Woods spin hip-hop, a hosted bar serves cocktails and beer, and the gallery's store will stay open late for you to purchase artwork and apparel. 6-10PM, free.
THE V WORD: Loosely based on Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues," "Yoni Ki Baat" is an exploration of female sexuality as experienced by South Asian immigrants. The performance includes spoken word, music and dance presented by Rasaka Theatre ensemble members in association with Premiere Theatre & Performance. A portion of ticket sales benefits Apna Ghar, a domestic violence center. At Straw Dog Theatre, 8PM, $10-$20.
THE BEWITCHING HOUR: Ease your body into the new year with a "Midnight Yoga" class at Lincoln Square's popular Bloom Yoga Studio. A candlelit class is accompanied by live music. After your sun salutations, raise a glass with your fellow students during a wine-and-cheese reception. 10:30PM-midnight, $20.
