It has been far to long since we have been able to bring you a Sanctuary event, and we plan to make up for it. Before we begin, for those that have not had the opportunity to experience Sanctuary Night, we would like to talk about what is behind the event. In 2014, Pictish got together with MJ's Tavern to plan the "Remembering Stonewall; 45 years later" event. Pictish talked to Sir Malcavian about helping out and they were off. They worked with MJ's Tavern, members of the LGBT center and the Knighthawks of Virginia to throw the celebration. The event reached out to bring in the local Kink community to participate in celebrating the event. The event was an incredible success raising over $1200 for the LGBT Life Center in a matter of a few hours. Inspired by observations of the "Remember Stonewall" Event, seeing people from all corners of the community come out and enjoy themselves and support that event. Pictish and Sir Malcavian took those observations and they wanted to capitalize on the momentum and create an event to continue to bring everyone together where we could all socialize and enjoy a night out with friends new and old in a place we could come as we are and WHO we are. . Fetish Night was born from that inspiration, however fetish night did not really encapsulate the spirit behind the effort and a name change was needed. The inspiration then came from "Sanctuary of the Dark Angel" a playspace once active in Atlanta. Where many folks from all over the south east once traveled to find a space they were welcomed and accepted. A space that they could come be themselves, network and learn from each other while sharing their love of what it is we do. It is through all of that the First "Sanctuary Night" happened on November 4th 2014, and since then it has continued to strive to bring an event where the local community can bring the "Unity" into our community. A place where everyone, regardless of group or clique can come, celebrate who and what we are, socialize, do a little fundraising, watch "performances" and most of all have an enjoyable fun night out. Now that all of that is done on to the fun..... This time, Sanctuary Night is on Halloween Weekend. We know..... We know...
