Sad Girl Summer
2024 – Present
Making space for the melancholy that fills our brightest days, Sad Girl Summer is an annual three-show series guaranteed to be a bummer.
Securing a summer-long residency at Black Water Bar and sponsorship agreement with The Property Weirdos, Sad Girl Summer created a vessel for artists to slow down the pace, share something personal, and hold space for each other in ways other shows often can’t.
