We are launching an art party series called Back to the Rack on Feb 18 at 11pm in the Melody Bar. The weekly series is aimed to provide a safe space for artists, art appreciators as well as the Toronto arts & LGBT communities to come together after their respective art openings, enjoy drink specials, dance to music by a rotating roster of local DJs, connect with other like-minded folk and get a little crazy.

Back to the Rack, A Womanifesto

Queen Westyouve changed.

Where is the wild space?

Where is the space for the Art-Freaks, the Queerdos, and the Misfits?

Now is the time to join us in our clubhouse revolution.

Friends and lovers, our revolution is an after-party!

Youve gone to the openings.

Youve schmoozed with the curators and artists.

Now come back to the rack.

Come back to your neighbourhood living room

Come back to safe space.

Come have your drink muddled by the fingers of a lesbian.

Come enjoy drink specials where the drunker you get, the more youre supporting the arts no access to arts funding over here, folks!.

Come where everyone knows your name, they just cant remember it right now.

Destroy your career!

Turn off your phone!

If you can handle a womanifesto, then get here and lets do this!
