A new hip, music oriented neighborhood cafe and wine bar with a focus on music, female pioneers, queer artists and community building in West Hollywood- coming soon. Our mission is to truly uplift the underrepresented women+ in the Los Angeles area because we simply don’t have any spaces to call our own. We will do this by hosting events that showcase women+ artist/photographers and musicians until we find our space, which will empower women 7 days a week!

WeHo Pride Integration
| In what way is your organization/group seeking to integrate with WeHo Pride? |

Option 1 - Space within WeHo Pride Footprint
| Please describe you proposed programming/activity within the WeHo Pride footprint: |
We would love to have a booth to spread awareness of our cause. We have branded merch for purchase (if allowed) A backdrop for photos and perhaps we could have some acoustic performances if the space permits. A big part of our concept is music videos so we would love to have a tv playing videos of female+ fronted artists.

Yes
|
Option 2 - Separately Produced Event

We are currently talking with L-project LA to host an event at the Troubadour, as a closing night party for women+ We just hosted an event there on Feb 27th and it was a great success. We are awaiting confirmation on if Sunday June 5th is in fact available to be booked.
|
| Will you be requesting supplemental funding from the City? |
Yes
