SF FIRT THURSDAYS @ TENDERLOIN
The First Thursday Art Walk is a monthly self-guided walking tour of Downtown San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood and adjacent areas, during which time galleries, performance spaces, and other businesses hold their openings and other events which are open late to the public. Each month hosts a unique variety of events, with many regularly participating venues and many more occasional participants. A complete itinerary for each First Thursday can be found here by following us on Instagram where we also promote the events in the weeks prior to the First Thursdays.
CAMRON STANFORD HOUSE WAS REAL CUTE!
We had a great time vibing by the lake. Though, sad to hear the City of Oakland is planning on taking back the landmark. We hope to come back next year with them! Thanks to Nora and Alex on the music and Elaine, our model for embracing the random chill we had that afternoon.
We are having a Fundraiser! And it’s a 2 part event series:
The first event is on Halloween! A big ol’ dancing party to raise money for our 2025 programming. We've got the goods:
Costume Contest
