VELVET

Saturday, May 18, 2024 - 9:00pm
The Midway SF (900 Marin St. 94124)

Join us for take two of VELVET, bringing all your favorite Queerborhood camps together for a community-sourced queer art massive...right here in San Francisco!

We'll be bringing you 5 stages of dance music at the Midway with experiences aplenty both inside and out. As you explore the venue you'll find lots of sights, sounds and additions to delight every sense: Silent Disco stages, Face Painting, Cuddle Puddle, Video Games, 360 Video Photo Booth and CnJs Miso Station, just to name a few.

We’re bringing an expanded and perfected coat check into play for VELVET24, and can't wait to show you what else we've been putting together!

Comfort & Joy is busy painting, prototyping and laser cutting an aquatic art explosion for the main room, with Creative Director Chickpea manifesting a large-scale underwater seascape over the central dance area; Voronoi Blue is dreaming up a sea full of creatures and projection-mapping them into a sound-responsive watery tableau, while Ray Oliver's Makeout Lounge beckons with a deep-sea glimmer of comfort in the dark.

In addition, the hallway outside of the main room will be a retrospective of Chickpea’s collected gay-glo creations, with additional art on the Side Patio to support Larissa DeLaPlaya’s Miso Experience!

Volunteer to get a free ticket to Velvet…or, if you need additional assistance, reach send a DM to us on Insta: @velvet_sf.
