Join us for the opening reception of All Wrapped Up and shop our local qtbipoc creative market!

To unwrap a piece at the show, guests will make a donation to ANERA, Real Rent Duwamish, or La Resistencia. If a work sells, artists may choose to donate their sales to one of these organizations as well—supporting humanitarian relief, Indigenous sovereignty, and immigrant justice.

Cat is a Vietnamese-American pole dancer who finds joy in sensual, slinky movement. She has a particular interest in dancing to sad love songs and angry grunge music.

Mary (she/her)

Venmo: @maryelizabethpoles

Mary Elizabeth (@mary.eliz_abeth) (she/her) is a queer pole dancer, contortionist, and instructor. Originally from Chicago, she performed, competed, and taught throughout the Midwest until moving to Seattle in 2020. Mary currently teaches at Raven Studios Seattle (@ravenstudiosseattle) and offers personal training at Rain City Fitness (@raincityfit). The pole industry would not exist without the BIPOC, queer, and trans strippers and sex workers who have shared their experience and knowledge, and she encourages everyone to learn about and advocate for the decriminalization of sex work.
