CHICAGO! It is TIME!
During the Chicago Black Renaissance, our ancestors used art, music, poetry, fashion, and community to survive hostility, resist erasure, and imagine freedom in a city, and a country, that was not built for them.
Today, we stand in that same lineage.
✨ The Chicago Renaissance Ball ✨
An LGBTQ House Ballroom event hosted by the Chicago Ballroom Alliance, powered by the School of Opulence.
Ballroom is our art form.
Community is our resistance.
Visibility is our survival.
At a time when the current administration continues to attack LGBTQ people, especially Black and Brown queer and trans communities, spaces like this are not optional. They are necessary. They are where we protect our culture, circulate resources, affirm our brilliance, and remind the world that we are still here.
With $20,000 invested directly back into our community, this night marks more than a Ball, it marks a new era of Chicago Ballroom, rooted in legacy and elevated by excellence.
Just like before, we create anyway.
Just like before, we shine anyway.
Just like before, Chicago rises.
Legacy honored.
Future claimed.
Renaissance activated.
