Exit Fest
Alas, the social club’s time having a home has come to an end. So let’s finish this thing with a bang, a big one. An all day, all out party, with not one, not two, but 3 stages. Each ran with support by a different local collective with their own flare. The @buenavibrafamilia boiler room will be a smaller, intimate setting with big sound, and a bigger heart The @hausofuntz community room stage will be as always, our entrance room. These women focus solely on community building and it makes so much sense for them to take over this room. And finally, the back room, by yours truly. With visuals by @mad_alchemy_tj and many more surprises.
There will be vendors, food, go-go dancers, fun and an amazing day we all get to share together.
â
Vendors range from vintage and handmade clothing, to permanent jewelry, charms, and patches, to handmade keychains, prints, hand-painted magnets, hangable art, craft coffee & matcha drinks, ceramics, and balloon figures. The vendor village will run from 3pm till ~9pm, with some vendors staying a bit later.
â
Taquieria LUCHA open ALL DAY & NIGHT đŽâ
ââ
Be on the lookout for our pop ups around NWA in the future, with our first major one being the battle of the bands style “Fall DJ Contest”. Thank you for all the continuous support and great times over this last year.â

with the art of Kat Wilson
Receive a numbered paddle upon entry, and get into some bidding wars with other attendees while listening to classical vinyl spun by Theronious Chunk, next to your newly collected art. Buy or Burn is set to offer over 40 artworks made by award-winning artist Kat Wilson. From the mind of artist Ben Edwards, Buy or Burn Auctions destroy any unsold lots during the auction event. Like other auctions of fine art or estate items, the lots are offered in a sequential, live bidding session. If the lots do not sell, they will be incinerated on site. Buyers are welcome to place reserve bids with the auction house prior to the sale. Wilson's work has been published in Communication Arts, the Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post, displayed at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and projected at The Louvre, among many others.
