Keep Colorado Springs Queer and the Pikes Peak Arts Council are collaborating for a special open mic in the PPAC Queer Narratives gallery at ZoneFive (1902 E Boulder St, Colorado Springs, CO 80909)! Spend First Friday with us and enjoy an evening of queer visual and performance art. The gallery will be open starting at 5pm, the show is at 7:00pm. Don't forget to RSVP! https://lnkd.in/dbfpEFEw Feature: To be announced! Tickets and RSVP: Tickets are free, but we ask for a $5-$10 suggested donation to support the open mic so we can continue paying featured artists, security, door staff, photographers, and hosts. About PPAC: Established in 1968, PPAC believes in the power of artistic expression to inspire and unite. Whether you're an artist, enthusiast, or someone curious about the arts, you'll find a welcoming community through PPAC. Explore their programs, connect with fellow creatives, and join them in creating a thriving arts landscape that enriches the lives of all. Keep COS Queer COVID-19 Statement: We align with disability justice advocates in asserting that the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and still poses a very real risk to all people, including an increased risk of severe complications and long-COVID for queer and trans people. Further, we believe that members of our community who are at-risk, disabled, and immunocompromised deserve spaces for creative expression in which they feel safe. As such, we request that attendees mask at this event. We can’t guarantee that venue staff and guests visiting the gallery will be masking, but open mic attendees can make a huge impact in reducing risk by masking. We recommend the usage of respirators (KN95, Np5, etc.), but we will have disposable surgical face masks at the door available for those that need them.
