Halloween at The Polygon Gallert

The Polygon Gallery presents its first annual Halloween party fundraiser, an immersive, multi-room event taking over the entire building. Expect a demonic ’80s aerobics party filled with neon leotards, big hair, and surprises, with monitors throughout the building playing clips from Flashdance, Perfect, and VHS workout tapes from Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons. Emceed by Genesis (winner of Vancouver’s Next Drag Superstar), the main stage features live performances from Trauma Novelle, Reveal Yourself, and Devours, with Christa Belle DJing between sets. Meanwhile, popular Vancouver club nights Club Bebé (Brendocha, Binky) and Black Box (Auntie Money, Jesse Walker, Pip) take over a second room, popping up for the evening. The ground floor transforms into a barcade courtesy of tattoo artist James Acrow, who’s hand-built ’80s-style arcade cabinets offering unlimited freeplay across 5,000+ classic games. For the adventurous, Acrow will be giving Halloween-themed tattoos. Costume prizes include $500 cash for best individual costume, plus prizes for best group costumes.
