Olivia Outlaw (she/her) – Olivia Outlaw is a Philadelphia-based ink artist best known for her ballpoint pen illustrations that explore surrealism through the female form. Her work often places the female body in symbolic scenarios – most notably in her mushroom series, which she began in 2024 as a way of connecting femininity to nature and embracing the beauty of unsettling imagery.

Tiggy (they/them) – Tiggy is a Philadelphia based artist that works primarily with oil on canvas. Abstracted themes of nature are combined with vibrant colors to inspire the viewer to interpret the piece in multiple ways.

Romeo Saunders (they/them, he/him) – Romeo Saunders is a Philadelphia-based black queer artist who explores African spirituality and ancient traditions through his art. He aims to bridge the past and present, reminding people of their roots and encouraging them to appreciate the spiritual and cultural connections we have, building the future by remembering the past.

Kevelis Matthews-Alvarado (they/them, he/him) – Kevelis Matthews-Alvarado is a queer nonbinary afro-latine multimedia artist, interdisciplinary thinker, and poet currently based on occupied Lenape Land (Philadelphia, PA). Kevelis’s mixed media creative practices are inextricably invested in collective liberation and located along a continuum of other radical black queer artists who use their work as catalysts for imagining freedom and healing generational wounds.

Ingenious Nick (he/him) -Ingenious Nick is a Philadelphia based artist with an eclectic mix of digital and traditional illustrations. Drawing inspiration from everyday moments and shadow work, my creative mission is to inspire others to reconnect with their inner creator, and use art as a therapeutic tool.

The Magick Artist (they/them) – The Magick Artist is run by Malachi Lily (they/them). They are a black, shapeshifting writer, illustrator, and director, born in Philly and based in Germantown. Their customized clothing is queer spellwork, and the last ingredient is you! Size-inclusive and upcycled, their clothing expresses the monstrous, esoteric, creepy crawly, and ethereal. @theholyhawkmoth on Instagram is defunct, but click on their link in bio to find their newsletter.

Jordan Plain (he/him) – Jordan Plain is a multihyphenate creative who cannot be boxed in. Born and raised in Philadelphia, and ever inspired by the city. Jordan Plain creates for sustenance using a blend of poetry, graphic design, and the abstract to capture life at its purest.

Henry Luke (they/them) – Henry Luke is a painter, muralist, and lifelong community organizer from occupied Duwamish land (Seattle). Their work, rooted in social movements and community struggles, especially within Chinese and Filipino communities, reflects a belief that art should serve collective liberation rather than individual expression.

Featured Live Music

Velvet Grüve – Velvet Grüve is an instrumental band that takes influence from all genres of music ranging from funk to metal. We believe music can oftentimes speak for itself without lyrics. Our group developed an eccentric sound through casual jam sessions that stem from our own individual explorations of music. Our mission is for everyone to have an immersive listening experience through Velvet Grüve’s affinity for sound.

DJ Heat___wav – In his 10+ years of DJ-ing and production experience, Heat___wav honed a passion for live blending songs, original remixes, and tinkering with all musical genres and instrumentation. Since hitting the scene of Temple University’s house party & cookout circuit, he’s played gigs alongside local acts such as PNB Rock and DJ Vic B. With a comfortable grasp on the diasporic genres of Hip Hop, Dancehall, R&B, AfroBeats & Amapiano, his sound aims to provide a frictionless journey through contemporary rhythms, familiar vocals, and the overlapping space between songs.
