A year ago, Parkside launched the Bad Review Fund, a non-profit organization to keep the legacy of risky art alive in the Lower East Side. We were able to fund three incredible performances in 2025 and we hope to keep the momentum alive this year!
We are throwing our first-ever "gala" on June 1 to celebrate Bad Review Fund’s performers and drum up new interest and support. Parkside alumni Christeene (Paul Soileau) and Garnet Williams (both of whom who are currently on Broadway!) will be hosting and all 3 of our past grantees will be performing.
It's gonna be fun, there will be snacks, the program will be short but high quality and we will kick off pride month prioritizing community, art and activism.
***DRESS UP OR DOWN OR SIDEWAYS: WE'RE QUEER: LEWKS OR IRREVERENCE ARE ALWAYS ENCOURAGED
The Silent Auction will be going live a few days before the auction, you will be automatically notified first when you buy a ticket, or you can keep an eye on the Parkside Instagram and we will announce there as well.
This program was made possible by the generous personal donations from Jesse Goldstein and Kristen Mitsinikos, Neva and Howie Goldstein and the generous sponsorship and support from Danos Tequila and Olé and Obrigado wines (which you will be drinking a lot of on Monday June 1) as well as the our amazing fiscal sponsor: IndieSpace
