Three clubs ☆ One ticket ☆ Ten hours given over to the queer underground Following our autumn descent, Sanctuary returns at the threshold of winter on Saturday, November 28, with an Offering. One year ago, we opened the doors to Sanctuary with a simple promise: your home away from home. A year later, that home has grown across rooms, dance floors, friendships, sweat, sound, and countless hours spent together in the dark. For our first anniversary, we return with an Offering: a celebration of what each of us brings to this space, what we give to one another, and what we have built together. For one year, Sanctuary has asked you to make yourself at home. For our anniversary, we ask you to bring something of yourself with you. This is your home away from home. This is our Offering. ABOUT THE NIGHT Taking place over a late-November weekend, when the air turns sharp and the nights stretch long, Sanctuary: Offering reframes the dance floor as an altar of our own making, built around exchange. Across three rooms, artists meet behind the decks, sometimes alone and sometimes in dialogue, giving something to one another and to the room: a rhythm answered, a tension pushed further, an unexpected turn, a familiar sound transformed in someone else’s hands. Together, they guide the night through underground house, driving techno, raw hypnotic grooves, deep late-night pressure, and flashes of pure euphoria. But the offering is not only happening in the booth. In the underground, an offering is not about solemnity. It is about what we bring into the room and what we give to one another. A dance floor is something we make together. Every person carries something into the dark: attention, movement, flirtation, weirdness, tenderness, sweat, and trust. It is the heat we generate together, the energy we feed back into the room, and the inhibitions we leave behind at the door. Sanctuary is a place to lose yourself in the ritual of the beat, but also to play, feel sexy, get strange, and dance like a glorious menace until sunrise. You can disappear into deep introspection, make eyes across the bass bins, or spend ten hours becoming progressively less interested in what time it is. There is no prescribed way to participate. Bring something genuine. Leave something behind. This is a space built by and for queer community: a place for serious music without taking ourselves too seriously, for freedom without disregard, and for collective release grounded in care for the people sharing the room. TICKETS & COMMUNITY PRICING Full-price admission to Sanctuary is $40. To keep the event financially sustainable while remaining accessible to people in different circumstances, we offer five advance ticket levels at the same time. Every ticket provides exactly the same admission and experience. Choose the level that honestly reflects what you can afford. $10 COMMUNITY ACCESS Strictly limited and intended for those who genuinely need the lowest-cost option. No proof or explanation required. $20 REDUCED A larger but finite allocation for guests working with a tight budget. $30 STANDARD ADVANCE Our recommended advance ticket level and the contribution most guests should choose when they can. This level helps us meet the basic cost of producing the event. $40 FULL PRICE The full buyer-facing price of admission and the standard price at the door. $50 SUPPORTER For those able to contribute more. Supporter tickets help offset reduced-price admission, ticketing costs, fair artist pay, and Sanctuary’s long-term sustainability. This model depends on trust. If you can comfortably choose Full Price or Supporter, your contribution helps keep the lower tiers available for someone who cannot. Lower-cost allocations are limited, so those who need them should purchase early. All online prices shown are the total paid by the buyer and include RA’s service fee. The remaining ticket revenue goes directly toward producing Sanctuary. WHERE YOUR TICKET GOES Producing a three-room, ten-hour Sanctuary requires substantial investment. Your ticket directly supports the artists, workers, equipment, and care required to build the night properly. SOUND SYSTEMS AND DJ EQUIPMENT Custom sound by Vox Box, plus professional club-standard CDJs, mixers, and related equipment across all three rooms. LIGHTING, SCENIC DESIGN, AND ART Lighting and scenic design by Cat Beam, with interactive installations by Astral Matter Experience. DJS AND SELECTORS Fair compensation for the thirteen local and regional queer artists guiding the night. STAFFING AND OPERATIONS Security, door staff, harm-reduction support, and the people working behind the scenes throughout the night. GRAPHIC DESIGN, MATERIALS, AND PROMOTION Custom graphics by 1800RAVENOW, printed materials, promotional expenses, ticketing fees, and production incidentals. Sanctuary is independently produced and operates on narrow margins. Your ticket pays for serious sound, intentional production, properly supported artists, and a room staffed with care. A SAFER SPACE Sanctuary is a safer space, and we protect it accordingly. Racism, transphobia, homophobia, harassment, unwanted touching, predatory behavior, and deliberate violations of consent will result in removal. We approach the room as stewards: fiercely protective, deeply affirming, and grounded in mutual respect. Look out for one another. Respect boundaries. Ask before touching. If something feels wrong, tell a member of our staff immediately. The care we show one another is part of the offering too. THE DOOR A ticket guarantees your place in line, not unconditional admission. Guests may be refused entry for aggressive or disrespectful conduct, harassment, severe intoxication, or behavior that suggests they may compromise the safety of the room. Tickets will not be refunded when admission is refused because of conduct. Door decisions are based on behavior, not appearance, clothing, identity, body type, who you arrived with, or how you express yourself. Come kind, come aware, and come ready to respect the people around you. That is all we ask. PHONES AWAY ON THE DANCE FLOOR Keep your phone in your pocket and stay present with the people sharing the room with you. No photos, videos, or scrolling on the dance floor. If you need to use your phone, please step away from the floor. Some offerings are meant to be experienced, not documented. What is offered in the dark stays in the dark.
