TONIGHT is the night! These past few weeks have been a lot! I'm planning on dancing the stress away!

Join me on the dancefloor: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/outside-tickets-1015328263167?aff=ebdsoporgprofile

“Having just moved back to Annapolis from LA/SF, this party is a way for me to reconnect with my hometown to bring like-minded people together to celebrate music and dancing, creating a safe space for qu**rs to be themselves,” states party coordinator and DJ, David Richardson.

“Outside was born out of a mutual love for underground dance culture. Our goal is to bring that energy to Annapolis, creating a space that feels inspiring, creative, and inclusive. This event is catered to music lovers who are looking for an intimate space to connect with each other,” says party coordinator Darin Gilliam.

With house party vibes, Outside is a celebration of community and inclusivity, with a strong focus on LGBTQ+ friendliness. Attendees can expect an eclectic mix of hip-hop, house, club, and techno sounds from DJ Face and davOmakesbeats.

Outside is a quarterly dance party w/ house party vibes. Join us as we dance and commune at gallery and studio AND Creative.

Have you checked out our exhibition "This Art is For Sale" in the Martino and Earl galleries? If you haven't, you still have time! The show is up until the end of March and like the title says, the works are for sale! We live by the idea that "Artwork IS Work" and aim to educate the public, galleries, art buyers, and businesses who use art, post art, collect art and benefit from art every single day that being an artist is a real job that deserves real pay…not exposure. The works range from hand built boats to hand-stitched clothing and even a metal casting of hands to hold your ice cream cones!? This exhibit is great for all ages and shouldn't be missed.

This show’s aim is to educate the public, galleries, art buyers, and businesses who use art, post art, collect art and benefit from art every single day that being an artist is a real job that deserves real pay…not exposure.
