The VMF 2023 Pop-Up Art Series aims to highlight the immense talent of queer tattoo artists in so-called Vancouver and provide them with a wall as a platform to enhance their visibility and explore the versatility of their craft. We invite artists to express what their art represents, how they desire to be recognized, and explore the profound connections between art, people and spaces.

Buddies will be wearing neon shirts and are NARCAN trained. They are carrying sealed water bottles, condoms, lube, granola bars, tampons, and more.

    We acknowledge that this event takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples – the sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations. We ask that you take a moment to consider the history of the land that we gather on, your relations with local Indigenous people and what each of us can do to foster meaningful reconciliation now and into the future.
