Tickets $45. Thirty years ago, Waiting to Exhale premiered in theaters and made a cultural impact about love in multiple ways: it discusses the love that Black women give each other and the love that these women seek for themselves. To celebrate womanhood and all of its messiness, humor, heartbreak, and joy, Grand Gesture Books is so excited to offer a movie viewing with sleepover vibes. Movie goers should come in pajamas or casual wear for the ultimate vibe. Each ticket comes with a delectable goodie bag that includes a face mask, shea butter, chocolates, and other treats because everyone deserves to be pampered. Do not worry about coming alone because there is room for everyone. Tonight, you can sit back, relax, and exhale. 

Tickets $15. Celebrate five decades of groundbreaking art and storytelling with Portland legend Rupert Kinnard! In conjunction with his 50-year retrospective at the Northwest Museum of Cartoon Arts, we’re thrilled to present a screening of No Straight Lines: The Rise of Queer Comics.

Following the screening, Kinnard, creator of the first Black, queer superhero, will be onstage for an audience Q&A moderated by NWMOCA Board Chair Mike Rosen. Rupert Kinnard will sign books after the Q&A.
