The Spooky and Proud Salon (Humanities Salon)
October 3 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
The Blackburn Humanities Salon returns for the ’24-’25 school year with The Spooky and Proud Salon at 6 pm on Thursday, Oct. 3 in Jaenke. October is LGBTQ+ history month and the month for all things Halloween, so join us for our third annual celebration of all arts LGBTQ+ and/or gothic! Spooky refreshments, including mysterious punch, will be served, and pride-themed stickers and flags will available for free. Costumes encouraged!
Historically, a Salon was a gathering of people who came together to exchange and discuss intellectual and artistic ideas of the day. Fancy attire was worn and tea and cakes were served. To honor this tradition and establish a creative community at Blackburn for writers, artists, performers, and lovers of all art, the English & Communications hosts our own Humanities Salon on the first Thursday of the second and third months of the semester at 6 pm in Jaenke, which is open to all students, faculty, and staff who want to:
● read their own creative work;
● perform a short musical, theatrical, dance, or any stage act;
● share and discuss an original work of art;
● share any work of art of any medium that you simply love;
● listen and be part of the creative community at Blackburn.
We hope to see you there!
