THEYFRIEND Archive
THEYFRIEND began in 2020 as a virtual artist salon featuring five national nonbinary performing artists. In 2021 we established THEYFRIEND as a festival and, since then, have steadily grown to feature a breadth of Bay Area, CA-based, national, and international nonbinary performers at dynamic events in partnership with local queer organizations and arts venues. For more information about past festivals, visit our THEYFRIEND archive.
