This June, during Pride Month and Black Music Month, we are excited to host our Pride Happy Hour at The New Eagle Creek Saloon by Artist Sadie Barnette. The New Eagle Creek Saloon is a functioning bar meant for programming. The Happy Hour will run on Friday, June 2nd from 6-8p and will include a DJ set, vibes, a cash bar, and some surprises! Allies are welcome as plus ones only. The first 25 BIPOC people to arrive will receive two drink tickets.
This is an installation that reimagines the first black-owned gay bar in San Francisco. Glowing somewhere between a monument and an altar, the glittering bar structure is not only a place but is at once an invocation and an invitation. This work is honorific but also generative; with intimacy rather than reverence, the restaging of the New Eagle Creek Saloon offers space for connection and new energies, to dance and dream, to call the names of those lost and to see one another as we are in the glow of our own small moments of freedom.
