So much gratitude to our artists who created beautiful works of art and trusted us to provide space to share them. Thank you so much to Rogue Violin for providing lovely vibrations to make the gallery space into something extra magical. Additional gratitude to the poets who shared pieces of themselves through spoken word and to the drag performers who slayed the night away.

We know we didn't capture everyone in our thanks, but that's not because we don't appreciate you!
In the upcoming weeks we will be reaching out to artists, vendors, and participants to get feedback and more information to share. Please stay posted, as we work to continue sharing the amazing art, culture, and expression that came together for last night's event.
For now - THANK YOU!
