The Kokoon Arts Klub was a "Bohemian artists group" founded by Carl Moellmann and William Sommer, and known for it's "unconventional activities and espousal of 'new art'". Beginning in 1913, Kokooners held an annual "Bal Masque" which were wild and creative celebrations of bohemianism that featured costumes, exotic dances, provocative art, periodic nudity, chaotic processions, giant props and over-the-top decorations. Attendees' costumes had to adhere to the event's theme (such as Bal Dynamique, Bal Bizarre, or Bal Risque). Note that this poster features wild artwork by Joseph W. Jicha. The poster was apparently sent folded to people that were invited to attend, with a line at the bottom that says "You Mr." with a line after it where the specific name would be added.
