Gemini & Scorpio Loft

Gemini & Scorpio Loft Woman-, immigrant- & LGBTQ-owned 5K sq ft private Brooklyn indie arts space w stage, lights, & sound

A woman-, immigrant- and LGBTQ-owned private 5,000sq ft event space in Gowanus, Brooklyn. We host both private celebrations and public ticketed events, and love working with under-served minority groups. With oversized windows and 11' ceilings, the space feels modern and open, while the newly exposed brick walls, wood floors and exposed-beam ceilings retain the classic New York loft vibe. Dependin

g on configuration, the Loft can fit up to 150 seated / up to 200 standing. The open space is divided into zones that connect to each other for a balance between flow and separation of purpose (stage & dance floor, lounge, bar) -- this helps it feel cozy with as few as 75 people. The Loft is serviced by a gender-neutral bathroom with three stalls (two are ADA-accessible). A permanent photo booth or gallery area is at the entrance, with a magnetic wall that easily accommodates backdrops or art. A 10'x20' catering kitchen is being built out in 2024, but a few elements (ice machine, triple sinks, refrigerator) are connected and ready for use. The Loft is particularly well-suited for events with live entertainment, with a full sound system & lighting grid, DJ booth, and 20'x4' dressing room with direct stage access. The 12'x15'x2' reconfigurable stage is made up of eight individual 3x8 platforms and a separate drum riser. Mood lighting throughout the space is via smart bulbs controlled by a house ipad, and can be entirely customized to each event. All furniture and tech gear can be moved into a custom configuration for your event, but the Loft is event-ready as is at all times. Accessibility: the Gemini and Scorpio Loft at 267 Douglass St is reachable by virtually all trains. It is on a third floor of a recently renovated industrial building, accessible via a 6x9 elevator.

The Zuckerverse couldn’t be more hostile to creators and art originating in the marginalized communities we try to support. They (and we) are under constant threat of losing their/our presence here. And since for some reason audiences still rely on the tech middlemen to get their event info, this removes power from the creators’ hands to make their voices heard. Yes, we all love the pretty pictures. But your primary way of connecting to us and those artists, if you want to support us, is via direct email lists.

We have two: one for this more vanilla acct that mostly reps the venue and the themed costume events we are known for. And one for that OTHER community that is all about bringing marginalized groups together, to have our flavor of uncensored fun together away from the technocrats gaze.

You know how this stuff works by now and where to find the info, right? Because even hinting at it will displease the algo-gods. If you don't know, feel free to ask.

You can also help by feeding the interaction machine.

As for the pic: go find that OTHER community to learn more (tho the Fb event itself exists on this Page's tab). Because you don’t want to miss this weekend’s fun.

Cannot wait to settle in for these lush visuals tomorrow: the legendary “Pink Narcissus” (1971), restored in glorious 4K for its 55th anniversary, screened for House of Scorpio’s monthly Sinema Club. One (initially unknown) man’s obsession, influencing generations of q***r visuals from Fassbinder to Pierre et Gilles/LaCapelle to Lil Nas X.

As an unbelievable bonus, , the journalist who originally found the creator James Bidgood and then wrote the book about him, will call in after the screening to chat about the movie with us.

While you likely mostly know us for performance-driven events, the magic Loft is no slouch in dance party mode…especially with lazzzerrrzzs! What’s your event vision? We can make it happen here.

Hey Burners, and Burner-curious…are you part of a theme camp yet? Theme camps are probably the biggest feature that makes BM a temporary vibrant city, and not a “festival.” Being part of one is the easiest way to find a route to contribute to the event, while securing a good camping spot.

If you’re curious to find a local one to join or just want to meet the crazies that make the city happen, we’re having a Theme Camp Speed Dating happy hour at the Loft tomorrow, 6-10, open to all. And of course I’ll have my fabulous fashion racks set up, too ( for a preview).

Pictured: my home on the playa for many years, Black Rock French Quarter, where the two-story NOLA style building with “stores” and a second-floor “hotel” was just one of our many interactive offerings. Grabbed the first random pic off the internet, and there I am sneaking in work email from the hotel balcony at some early morning hour…
