Whether you’re sending someone to hell, or on your own way there, we want to share on this journey with you. 👭🌟

Specially held at Arcadium Adventures - Escape Room & Bar, we will have EXCLUSIVE and solo reign of the place!!! It’ll be a lovely & wonderful night. We can’t wait to see you all there!

Send in your applications to read through the link in our bio!

(And even if you aren’t going to read — we want you to come along and listen. The path to hell is paved with … community)

How will you take the daddy prompt?
More inspiration coming in the following days.

See you all on the 29th of July

Huge thanks again to Rae White for taking the time to discuss inspiration! Make sure to submit and see us at the end of the month for our Salon!
Thanks for reading

🍊May’s salon is a theme-less, free for all, open mic!
The stress of the canvas hack & shut down + end of semester rapidly approaching means that our gift to you is this: a relaxing break from the themes.

🧶Bring us what you have lying around, or that one piece of work you’ve never found the right theme for! This is for you! And if that’s not your vibe, come and grab a beer & watch the performances! Or do both!

Register to perform thru the link in BIO, or, copy and paste this: https://forms.gle/4wj1DBGkGmbvmKNk6 🌟🌟

✍️ Writing Friday is on again *this* Friday, May 15th!

Telescope, sci-fi or ‘It takes place at night.’

Thank you so much to our fantastic readers and audience, you all are such wonderful writers and we should feel lucky that you continue to share.

To address the robot in the room, another massive thank you to QUTs robotics clubs for allowing us to borrow their lunar rover Perseus!

Thank you, and see you next month ;)

Thank you so much .elliot.white and for hosting our past workshop on Q***r artworks!
