A cultural uprising rooted in the bold, brilliant spirit of Black LGBTQ+ communities who have risen from silence, shame, and suppression into unapologetic wholeness.
Come celebrate a rebirth.
Come dance in your freedom.
Come resurrect your joy.
We are the Renaissance.
This weekend is a living tribute to the art, identity, and resilience that still pulses through our bloodlines. It is a call to return to ourselves — not as who we were told to be, but as who we truly are.
Like chrome — resilient, reflective, and unmistakably visible — we do not shrink, blur, or ask for permission. We shine because we exist. We rise because we’ve always deserved to. We show up as angelic beings with edges softened by survival and spirits sharpened by truth — unapologetically unique, fearless, and no longer willing to carry shame that was never ours.
And as we rise, we also honor those among us who are already living the theme — community members who embody resilience, brilliance, and joy in the face of adversity. This is a weekend to uplift their voices, celebrate their light, and fuel the work that ensures no one in our community is left behind.
Help Us Reach Our MashUp! Weekend Goal!
MashUp Weekend is our boldest and most ambitious fundraiser of the year. We’re aiming to raise $100,000 — not just to produce an unforgettable weekend of art, connection, and celebration, but to directly fund MashUp’s year-round programs that offer trauma-informed mental health support, address racial and economic health disparities, and equip grassroots leaders with the tools and training they need to build thriving, resilient communities. This is how we sustain the heartbeat of our mission — keeping it alive, expansive, and deeply rooted in justice and care.
