The gallery unfolds across the space with shifting performances, interactive moments, and opportunities to meet the artists behind the work. Expect vivid visuals, embodied storytelling, and art that invites you to feel, witness, and connect.

What You’ll Experience

Live performance art woven throughout the evening

A curated gallery of queer painters, photographers, sculptors, textile artists, and experimental creators

Why it Belongs Here

Queer Canvas celebrates queer brilliance, sensuality, and creative abundance. Featuring these artists inside the event amplifies community voices and deepens the connective, celebratory energy of the night.

The Artists

A mix of emerging and established queer creatives whose work spans visual art, movement, storytelling, and hybrid forms — all bringing pieces that reflect the humor, depth, eroticism, tenderness, and power of queer life.

November 6th 8:00pm-9:00pm

The Secret Show!

A night for those who love intrigue, artistry, and a touch of the unknown.

Behind the curtains, stories unfold in whispers and shadows. Comedy, movement, and mystery share the stage — each act revealing just enough to keep you guessing. It’s playful, expressive, and full of surprise. Every performer brings their own secret, and together they create a night that feels alive and unpredictable

• A mix of comedy, illusion, and theatrical acts that blur the line between reality and imagination
• Performers who embody mystery — from subtle storytelling to bold spectacle
• An audience ready to play along
• Appreciation encouraged, boundaries respected

A room where everyone gets to show up as themselves and be swept into the moment — no pressure, just presence.

Community Care

• Stay home if you’re not feeling well
• Consent applies to everyone
• Boundary violations end the party
• We look out for each other — on stage and off

Who's Invited

• All genders, identities, and orientations
• Folks who love performance, mystery, and expressive art
• First‑timers and seasoned nightlife people alike
• Anyone who values consent, creativity, and community energy

Why it exists

The Secret Show gives performers space to explore the art of surprise — and gives the audience a chance to experience something real, something hidden, something unforgettable.

November 6th 9:30pm-1:00am

The Chemistry Collective: A Poly/ENM Dance Party — Play Edition

At the Play Edition of The Chemistry Collective yes, the possibilities have expanded, but let's be clear...this is still a dance party. The music leads. Consent is the baseline. Respect is non negotiable. That is the culture.

Play Edition brings a sweeter, slightly cheekier current to the dance floor. A space where connection can build naturally through movement, conversation, and mutual interest, all at your own pace.

This dance gathers the energy and experiences of the delicious succession of Queer Canvas and Comedy & Burlesque Hour!, bringing them onto the floor for a night of rhythm, connection, and a spark that carries us into what comes next.

You must arrive by 9pm for the opening circle. All Chemistry Collective attendees are required to be present for this collective grounding and consent setting before the dance begins.

What to Expect

• A consent forward dance party centered on autonomy, clarity, and joy

• Social spaces for conversation, connection, and low stakes flirtation

• A curated soundtrack designed to spark movement, attraction, and flow

• A welcoming environment for solo attendees, partners, polycules, and curious newcomers

• A playful undertone where you always choose your own adventure

The Vibe

This is a space where you can come to dance hard and leave it there. Or strike up a conversation that surprises you. Or simply enjoy being surrounded by people who understand expansive connection.

No pressure. No performance. No creepy energy.

Just good music, good people, and the freedom to explore chemistry at your own pace. Flirt if you want. Decline if you want. Change your mind. Communicate. That is the culture.

Health and Community Care

• A same day negative COVID test is required for entry

• If you are feeling sick, please stay home

• Any consent violations will result in immediate removal from the party

We take care of each other here. That includes bodies, boundaries, and the overall container of the space.

Who’s Invited

• Polyamorous, ENM, and open relationship communities

• All genders, identities, and orientations

• People exploring new relational formats or seeking community

• Anyone who values consent, communication, and playful respect

Why It Exists

The Chemistry Collective creates real world spaces where open community folx can meet without apps, scarcity, or awkward guesswork in finding other poly/ENM folx.

Play Edition celebrates embodied joy, mutual attraction, and the spark of discovering who you vibe with on and off the dance floor while staying rooted in care for one another.

How to Participate

• Dance and enjoy the music

• Connect in social spaces

• Flirt responsibly, read the room, ask first, respect the answer

• Explore new dynamics with clarity and consent

• Come solo, partnered, or with your whole ecosystem
