Artistic Alphabet Mafia presents
Rainbow Runway! A celebration of Queer fashion and flair.
Our big pride event of the year will be focused on an art form that ties the community together, fashion! 
From drag costumes, to cute farmer's fits, to gender affirming clothes, to the very flags we fly at pride. The fabric and clothes we display and wear as Queer people have long been tools for us to advocate for ourselves and our ability to live openly in the world and this year is no different. 
This event will be a DIY fashion showcase, costume/clothing swap, textile art market, community pride flag art project, and sewing workshop featuring some of the best Queer crafters in the city. 
Tickets
Tickets are pay-what-you-can at $5, $10, $15, $20, $30, $50, or $100 tiers. The promo code for free tickets is 
slaytherainbow
 and can be used by anyone who needs it, as we never want ticket cost to be a barrier to attending!
We ask those who are able to cover the full price cost of their ticket to contribute their fair share.
