Opal Underground’s Mission

Now more than in recent memory, it is important for us as a community to support and uplift Queer art and music, especially trans and gender expansive visions and voices. Opal Underground is committed to our value of booking and supporting Queer talent, particularly marginalized QTBIPOC DJs, artists, performers, dancers, and hosts.

 

Opal Underground’s Vision

Uplifting PDX Alternative Queer Nightlife

Historically, queer people have found their chosen family through nightlife culture. Even in today’s digital age, in-person events are irreplaceable.

Opal Underground’s goal is always to create an inclusive, safer space for Portland’s queer communities so that we can come together in collective healing experiences.

We focus on local talent and community building. That means a focus on PDX/PNW artists, creative bookings, live acts and community organizing.

 

Opal Underground’s Values

Safety, Inclusion, and Supporting the PDX Queer Community

No racism, no sexism, no bigotry, no violence.

Physical accessibility.

Inclusion and representation: no gatekeeping, booking and supporting local queer talent, particularly marginalized QTBIPOC DJs, artists, performers, dancers, and hosts.

Safety: consent is required, substance abuse harm reduction, and fire safety.
