Pom Pom Prom | Prom for Queer Youth

  • Athens Cultural Center Athens, NY (map)
You're invited to Pom Pom Prom on Saturday June 18, 2022

Youth 11 - 17 are invited to join us from 7 - 10pm at Athens Cultural Center in Athens, NY. Dress up, dance, and eat yummy food!

Wear your snazziest. Wear whatever makes you feel good. If you wanna try out something new, there will be clothes to try on, curated by Andy Monk.

We will have art by Tamara Zahaykevich and Anne Scheafer as well as the Spectrum art exhibition by queer artists of the Hudson Valley, curated by Carter Lou and Farika. Our DJ, Kole Kovacs, spins tunes all over the Hudson Valley. Our chef, Kogetsu Walker, makes delicious food at Random Harvest.

Once you're in the space, we'll ask you to stay in the space 'til you're ready to go; no coming and going (safety first). Parents and guardians are welcome to hang out at the Stewart House River Grill, a beautiful outdoor restaurant overlooking the Hudson.

ACC Board members and supporters will be outdoors all evening, surrounding the space with loving attention. The Athens police have been notified of the event, and will offer their support as well. Adults will be indoors, supporting and protecting youth, ensuring a wonderful, very special evening for all.

We ask that youth have a negative Covid test the day of the prom, and wear a mask until they step indoors!
