Bittersweet

February 7th - February 28th

Bittersweet 💔

As February floods the world with candy hearts and commercialized romance, Bittersweet cuts through the saccharine to explore the raw, messy, and transformative nature of heartbreak. This exhibit isn’t just about love lost—it’s about grief in all its forms, the beauty in breaking, and the strength that rises from the wreckage. Featuring works that capture the sting of longing, the weight of nostalgia, and the unexpected sweetness found in sorrow, Bittersweet invites you to sit in the ache, scream-sing your favorite sad girl anthem, and embrace the art of moving on.

💎 Opening Reception | Feb 9, 5–8 PM – Shop our Makers Market, let DJ N8vboy soundtrack your emotions, and witness four powerful pole performances from The Gongspot, Rebecca, The Biggest Benis, and Cat set to the ultimate heartbreak playlist. Sip on our Heartbreak Elixir, because you deserve a little sugar with your sorrow.

🎤 Third Thursday Open Mic | Feb 15, 7–9 PM – Got a poem, song, or late-night diary entry about the one who got away? This is your time. Bring your best emo ballad, your most cathartic spoken word, and let's grieve (and heal) together.

Because heartbreak isn’t just personal—it’s collective, political, and universal. Let’s hold space for each other this month.
