Description

Beyond the Male Gaze is YWCA Greater Austin's end of year fundraiser. And what a year it has been! From overturns of important legislation to re-learning that flexibility is key for mental health - there is a LOT to let go of and EVEN MORE to continue to fight for! YWCA Greater Austin stands at the intersection of mental health & social justice. We declare Tuesday, December 6th a time for solidarity. Let's get together BEYOND THE MALE GAZE. What you should expect: VIP treatment from the moment the valet takes your hand and helps you out of your car to your tailored Thank You Gift on your way out the door. Local mind-altering entertainers beckon you inside. You are greeted and checked in with a glass of bubbles and offered self-adornment at the anointing station. * DJ Dead Flowers https://www.instagram.com/djdeadflowers/ * Tarot by Madam Sunny * Fire Dancers Did you have a long day that felt like a long year? Us, too. Let us take care of your woes with an open bar (non-alcoholic options as well of course!) Passed hors d'oeuvre thoughtfully curated with all food preferences in mind. (Contact us if you have an extra special concern - we got you!) Auction items for your bidding pleasure. A Dance Party is happening. Photo booth to capture the moments with your besties! It's a celebration! What should you wear? Long story, short - whatever the heck you want. We will likely be wearing red, gold, black - check out the invitation to get "the vibe" of the event. Can you say goddess energy? This is a VERY adult party. 21+ only and we want you to be aware that there is a flashing light and smoke warning. In Summary: Beyond the Male Gaze is a VIP experience to get reintroduced to YWCA Greater Austin, to celebrate, and to gather in solidarity with cis, trans, nonbinary, gender fluid folx creating a space where we can be vulnerable, safe, creative and free.
