DENIM VEST takes place on the ancestral, traditional, and unceded homelands of the Musqueam, Skxwú7mesh, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples. As we organize, we also remember the historical and ongoing colonial genocide against Indigenous peoples that make it possible for us to be here as settlers.

The summer sun has set: we have the FEELS. The cold Fall clouds creep and our denim pants are now but denim shorts: we have the FEELS. We dressed our kittens up like the cast of Downton Abbey and they're so cute we wanna cry: we got the FEELS.
We're making the East Van Virgos proud this season and doing something sweet about it!
Hence: THE FEELINGS PARTY.
Dance it out, dance it out. Whatever feelings you've got, we got you.

THE BUDDY SYSTEM:
Please remember: consent is sexy… and necessary. Leave your oppressive behaviour at the door. The Buddy System will be in effect at Denim Vest. All Buddies will be wearing glowing bracelets around both wrists. Buddies will have bottled water handy for you, run interference if someone is receiving unwanted attention and generally serve as go-to support people should any problems arise.
ACCESSIBILITY:
Denim Vest is a scent-reduced space. Red Gate Arts Society is an artist space with multiple artists using various chemical-based mediums in the studio space. Unfortunately, we can't guarantee a space that'll be as accessible as we'd like, though encourage people to come scent-free. This is a space we create together!
More resources on holding scent-reduced spaces for one another? Here are a few:

An accessibility audit has been made for Red Gate Arts Society (last updated August 2014) care of Theo Jakob! Many thanks also to Romham for providing updated information.
Entrance is street level with no steps at front entrance. Venue is level or gently ramped throughout. Entrance to back area has a flight of step and is not wheelchair accessible. Accessible washrooms are available with 34” door frames.
