Dickin’ Around
Join this interactive workshop that is just as much a party to create something truly unique. This two hour basement bash will show you how to sculpt your very own donger from a slab of clay. Skewering the spirit of Valentine’s Day, this will be an experience you will remember.

Mapplethorpe
Mapplethorpe follows the story of the titular queer artist; played by Matt Smith, from his emergence in New York, to his recognition for the gripping photographs that he produced. Mirroring the gradual acceptance of gay subculture in the artistic mainstream, the film portrays the eminent photographer of his generation.
