About the artists/vendors:

Glory Dang is a non-binary multidisciplinary artist, creative vulnerability facilitator, and sensual succubus. Born in the burbs of San Jose and raised by Chinese-Vietnamese immigrant refugee parents, they are heavily influenced by practices that flip power structures and tackle stigmas and shame. Today, they reside in Oakland and are exploring social art as healing through the lenses of trauma work, intentional community-building, and creative play. Their current work involves portraiture, sewing, woodworking, and event facilitation. Find them on IG @glorydango.

WaxPlay candles & Shibari arts by Mooooo. Find her on IG @sketchy_mooooo & Fetlife: @Mooooo

Velvet Archives is a queer woman of color who specializes in using color and shadow to capture the sensuality and sexuality of all bodies and genders with a cinematic and dreamy twist. Find her on IG @velvet.archives

Tayah Blanck's illustrative style is embedded with her love of aquatic creatures and fantasy. She also enjoys using her art to celebrate kink and other expressions of queer love. Find her on IG @Fill_in_Blancks and on TikTok @Fill_in_Blanck.

Gianna Benetti makes ceramic art and pottery that is both wheel thrown and hand built. Her work is often made out of porcelain, soda fired, and has illustrated surfaces. The vessels explore themes of the body and the feminine. Find her on IG @giannabenetti and at giannabenetti.com
