Twisted Windows: Desert Lights

Beneath a desert sky of stars, everything twists and bends—bodies, light, rope, time, expectations. Unraveling stories of seduction and surrender, expect decadence and daring beauty as our kink-infused desert dreamscape transforms like a mirage. This extravagant Gala features San Francisco-style exquisitely erotic, sensually subversive, and distinctly daring queer performance art, including aerial acrobatics, suspension bondage, dance, live painting, and fetish acts. Coming off their sold-out Folsom weekend events in SF, we’re bringing an all-star lineup of West Coast performers, including Joey the Tiger (straps and trapeze), Shay Tiziano, @Dancehalldyke, @slab_me_harder, and Charli Ropes.

From heat-hazed tension to soft, shadowed release, this gala invites you to lose your bearings and find something unexpected. Expect sensuality, tension, and the kind of heat that doesn’t fade after sunset.

Sometimes the most beautiful things are found in the dark; this performance event is in collaboration with the kick-off of the Lighthouse Art Gallery show. You’re invited to wander through a dazzling collection of works that bend, bounce, and breathe light: glowing light-boxes, sculptural lamps, shimmering art shrines, bold neon, hypnotic LEDs, and mixed-media marvels. From functional brilliance to pure conceptual magic, every piece invites you to linger, explore, and bask in its glow.
