In early 2020 presenting organizations around the world shuttered due to COVID-19, leaving patrons quarantined at home with a thirst for community and art. Our little Berkeley BIPOC Graduate Student focused arts initiative felt the weight of that cultural loss personally on March 12, when we had to notify our community that a Laverne Cox talk (and NO/NO sponsored meet and greet) had to be canceled to protect public health. This was the first event we had ever canceled. Between March and August, we canceled an additional nine in-person events in total.
As BIPOCs so commonly do in these situations, we took a breath, took a moment to pause, considered what our community needed, regrouped, and pivoted thoughtfully. Eight days later on March 20th, Night Out / Night Off’s first curated Virtual Entertainment email launched in an attempt to fill a temporary gap.
108 weeks later we are now writing to you to celebrate our 100th email. We are proud to share that in the time since the world stopped, we have only missed 8 weeks of emails (mainly because #BlackGirlMagic and #BerkeleyBIPOCMagic need to take breaks here and there). You can find ALL of our previous emails on our page if you want to celebrate with us.
NO/NO Virtual Entertainment emails are meant to be a virtual introduction to art events, articles, videos, from diverse BIPOC communities all around the world as well as introductions to local opportunities you may not know about. Our emails are thoroughly curated weekly and go out each Saturday. We invite you to open our emails, relax and be transported to the arts experience you have always wanted in person at your fingertips.
A TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO LIVE ACTIVITY
Please also join us in celebrating our return to in-person events. On March 29, 30, 31 and April 1, 2022, Night Out / Night Off for Graduate Students of Color returned to Cal Performances. We are proud to announce that we sold 200 tickets for 4 Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Performances (Cal Performances) in less than 11 days. It also would not be a NO/NO event without a complimentary reception and giveaways. 150+ people also blessed us with their presence at our Friday night cookie and milk reception after the show.
During the 2022-2023, please plan to join us as we return with a mix of curated emails with virtual offerings AND in person events with an even longer list of partners.
A SIMPLE ASK
Night Out / Night Off has existed for 7 years and in that time we have brought you to live performances. But for the last two turbulent years, we have been working to bring some of the best, most creative, most interesting, and incredibly diverse artists out there to your inbox. We have consistently delivered diverse creativity in its many forms without boundaries or borders. While we were thrilled to keep you and many, many others engaged with the arts even when you could not be there in person, it was a big effort. If we have inspired you or enlivened you or sustained you…and you would like to support our continuation of this effort, please consider making a contribution. The impact of your gift will be what you see in your inbox today and so much more. Exposure to new arts, exhibits, performances, and new opportunities to connect. We strive to represent the incredible diversity of people that make art in this country and many others. Our hope is this work will continue to sustain and support you as you begin to attend events in person…help us continue this important work and do so much more! Please consider making a tax-deductible donation.
All the Best,
Naniette H. Coleman, Founder NO/NO
