Before the party gets revved up, come meet us at open office hours starting at 6 where you can learn about the work our community is doing and get involved. Office hours is also a great time to co-work and/or organize with fellow trans people. Office hours is followed by skill shares, workshops, and activities at 8 where you can make friends, meet people and get ready to dance to the DJs of the expanding Voluminous Arts community.

For May's edition of T4Tuesdays we will have a panel of four DJs from our community talking about how they organize their USBs of tracks. What’s the right way to organize one? There is no right way to do it, everyone finds their own style. Through a blend of oral history and skillshare, this panel will help you think about what might work for you! Our panelists Pauli Cakes, CMD+JAZMINE, Sodomahigomorra, and Xana 101 will share their experience and approaches.

At 9pm it’s time to enliven the dance floor and set the cruise control to horny with DJ sets from guests Miye and Kay, plus resident Sodomahigomorra.

All night we'll have jigsaw puzzles in the middle room for a lower stimulus alternative to the dance floor. It's also a v cute way to meet people if you're shy.
