SPiLL is an unstructured third space / social with one goal: curate a space to do q***r joy (and sometimes pet cats) free from judgment. We provide the space, a few games, and sound; you provide stuff to do, be it solo, with others, or as chill parallel play!

Social runs 6 - 9PM (nice) on Tuesday 9/16 at West Art's second-floor Sanctuary. STYGIAN hosts and curates a playlist featuring dance pop, disco and other upbeat/chill vibes at a level that allows folks to chat, share skills, or vibe!

-Not sure what you can bring? Here are some ideas: zine/collage supplies, relatively not-messy art stuff, kandi materials, games, knitting/felting/quilting, yoga mats, etc.

-Simply want to show up? Please do! Bring your Switch, your current crochet project, or word search/sudoku/crossword that's been giving you trouble.

We'll have hot water and a variety of teas on hand in addition to West Art's coffee bar and bar-bar. Guests are also welcome to bring snacks to share; please label ingredients for allergens.

18+ now that we're no longer BYO. $5; contact Stygian in advance if discounted admission is needed :)

Do you hear that? Why's the ground shaking? AH BEANS IT'S THE ATTACK OF THE 50 LGBTQIA+ SLURS OF YOUR CHOOSING aka RE/POSE: SUMMERWEEN EDITION! That's right. We're back and bigger/spookier (maaaybe better) than ever!

Grab your fake blood and Sexy Inanimate Object costume and join hosts NEBULA and MENTALIA, special guest SKARLET OVERKILL, and me NEXT THURSDAY, 8/14 from 7-11! I'll start warming up the floor when doors open @ 7, MENTALIA and NEBULA kick off an hour of drag 8-9, then we'll get back to dancing until 11!

RE/POSE is a little less disco and a little more darkroom: from COBRAH to Amanda Lepore to Brooke Candy to Gaga, RE/POSE is a celebration of all things q***r/ alt / slt / dance pop, a little house, a little electronica, and a sprinkle of ballroom.
Meet us at our new home: AN DROICHEAD on the second floor of Tellus 360 - That's to the left of the elevator/ stairs and through the doors. This is an accessible part of the building and we'll be de-gendering the restrooms in our neck of the venue for this event. Event uses fog machines.

21+ only. $8 +adv at tellus360.com, $10 door. Please bring ya tippin' bills for NEBULA, MENTALIA, SKARLET, and our VERY RAD BARTENDERS!! Food is also available on site!

Hey, friends! There will be no SPiLL this month (July), but we'll see you August 19 for your usual third-Tuesday hang time. We encourage anyone who was planning to come out to go hang in West Art's amazing coffee bar regardless - there's always a good beverage (beans, alcoholic, or NA!) and a kind face waiting for ya' 'til 10 PM.

See you soon, friends.
