We'll be talking about what Pride means to us! What do you enjoy most about Pride and how has it impacted you personally? How do you think we can improve upon Pride as a community?

Crisis in the Club Gallery Opening
Crisis in the Club is a gallery show centering the party as not only a pursuit of pleasure, but as an act of joyful resistance. This collection of photography showcases moments of losing yourself on the dance floor and imagining new worlds.
These photos find us at the party in multiple locations, from the Bay Area, to Los Angeles, and Denver. As we tear down the world around us to forge new identities and realities for ourselves, what is it that we want to see reflected in what’s built?
Join us for our opening party June 7th from 6 - 9pm.
On view weekends in June at Crisis Club Gallery.
Featuring photographic works by Nancy Azcona, Dylan Pate, Ruby Piper, B Thompson, and Onome Uyovbievbo.
Now all that’s left to ask, is what do we do when the party’s over?
