QUEER PICTURE DAY

Sun, Aug 16 at 2pm · Oakland

QUEER PICTURE DAY 💌 by OMG Visuals I’ve had this idea in my mind for years and I’m finally bringing it to life. A lot of queer people never really got the chance to fully express ourselves as our fully realized selves growing up. So I wanted to create a Picture Day for us now. A space to document who we are, who we’ve become, and the versions of ourselves we dreamed about for so long. Come in your best whatever-that-means-to-you. Dress up, be soft, be bold, be sexy, be playful, be fully yourself. I want to capture the queer joy we carry and preserve this moment in time together. This will be a community portrait event with a backdrop, music, candid moments, and eventually a yearbook-style archive with “Most Likely To…” superlatives and community pages spotlighting the people and spaces that shape us. My dream is to make this a yearly series — something we can return to every year to see who we are becoming. We’ll be at my favorite bar in downtown Oakland during Pride with a DJ, good energy, beautiful people, and room to connect. Come ready to take portraits, meet new people, and be part of something special.

Blindfolded Team Art Competition (Prizes for Charity!)

Sun at 2pm · San Francisco

Welcome to the Blindfolded Team Drawing Competition! The rules are simple. 1. Grab a partner to make a team of two 2. One teammate wears a blindfold (something the sleeves of a hoodie) and grabs a paper and pencil. The other sees a drawing on their phone. 3. The seeing eye teammate gives verbal directions to the blindfolded teammate to recreate the drawing to the best of their ability. 4. For the teammate wearing the blindfold, no peeking at the drawing allowed! For the teammate seeing the drawing, no physical contact with your teammate allowed! Referees will be checking for these. The drawing that looks closest to the template in appearance, style, or general style will win!
