💗 Are you joining us for this special Sapphic Social event at Diamante? 💗

On October 10th from 3–6 PM, we’re hosting a 21+ Sapphic Social here at the Diamanté Arts & Cultural Center in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.

This is an afternoon for sapphics to come together, meet new people, enjoy our space, and celebrate community. We’ll have:

A low-sensory, sober space to browse the gallery and socialize

A space to dance, hang out, and enjoy traditional Hispanic snacks

A raffle for two tickets to the Latino Diamanté Awards, with 100% of raffle proceeds going to Siembra to support their work fighting injustice against the Latino community from ICE, employers, and landlords

Tickets are pay what you can, with a $5 minimum. If the $5 minimum is out of reach for you, please reach out to directly. We want this event to be accessible, and we’ll work with you to make sure you can attend.

And no, you do not have to be Hispanic to join us! You just need to identify somewhere under the sapphic umbrella.

100% of ticket proceeds will go directly to the Diamanté Arts & Cultural Center, helping us continue our mission of preserving, developing, and promoting the culture, heritage, and artistic expression of the Hispanic community of North Carolina.

We’re really looking forward to spending the afternoon with y’all. Come by yourself, bring a friend, meet some new people, dance a little, or just hang out and enjoy the gallery. There’s room for you here.

Tickets are available through the link in our bio.
