Facebook: http://bit.ly/PeachFacebook Instagram: http://bit.ly/PeachInsta ------------------------------------------- ABOUT PEACH Peach is an event series and brand born and raised in Chicago that is dedicated to unifying and celebrating LGBTQ+ women and femme family through music, drinks, food, art and visually stimulating entertainment. Peach brings a fully immersive design at a different venue for each event, partners with Tito's Handmade Vodka to give thousands of dollars away to nonprofits, and creates first-class, inclusive spaces. While the brand's mission centers queer women and femmes, allies and identities across the LGBTQ+ spectrum are encouraged to join in our safe space. Peach is produced by Black Thread Agency (website: http://bit.ly/BlackThreadAgency) Creative Team: Chris Tuttle, Ashley Thompson Photo: Manuela Schreiber Tito's Handmade Vodka: Tito's Handmade Vodka is produced in Austin at Texas' oldest legal distillery. Love has always been at the heart of this company. Back in 1992, years before he sold his first case, Tito started making vodka to give as gifts. Its popularity quickly spread among his friends and family, and he soon became known as "the vodka guy." When Tito decided to really make a go of it in the spirits business, he started supporting charity events around Austin one bottle at a time, and gave away, by all reasonable standards, a ridiculous amount of vodka. Free Write Sound & Vision: Free Write Sound & Vision provides full-service sound reinforcement and production support for all sizes and styles of events. Our expert project managers and technicians work closely with our partners to execute their vision and offer world-class experiences for their audiences.Unlike similar services, Free Write S&V is committed to social justice and employment equity in the arts industry. We hire and train alumni of Free Write Arts & Literacy and other young, primarily African American and Latinx adults with barriers to employment. We then support them as they make their way into an arts industry that is in need of a diverse, young workforce. Chicago Athletic Association hotel: Once reserved for the elite and privileged for 122 years, the Chicago Athletic Association hotel opened its doors to the public in 2015, and now welcomes everyone to play and partake in its over 150 annual programs and events, stay overnight in its 240 guest rooms, and dine and drink at its seven restaurants and bars. Originally built in 1893 in the celebrated Venetian-Gothic style to impress crowds of the World's Fair the same year, the building underwent an extensive three-year restoration and opened its doors to all as a luxury boutique hotel - no membership required.
