Join curators and co-founders Marvin K. White and Cedric Brown for the 3rd Annual B/GLAM Arts Festival. Telling both forgotten and new stories of Black Gay Men, this two-day celebration of word and performance features some of the most dynamic working artists in the Bay Area. As always, B/GLAM broadens the brush stroke, sings the new song, and dances the familiar and the new dance, all at the intersections of blackness, affection, family, community and love.

A first-time gathering of b/g best, Alan Miller (“At the Club”), Tim’m T. West (“Red Dirt Revival”) and Marvin K. White (“Last Rights”) are at home in words that come from hip-hop, the ghetto, academia and open mics. Their stories, though disparate, weave together seamlessly when they share their tales.
