Tell us your preferred dates and whether you want a pop-up (3–5 days) or a full run (3–4 weeks). Include load-in and breakdown days. Please book at least 6 months out.

We need 2–3 days of install access with about 8 hours per day, plus a breakdown day. Let us know about loading access, elevators or stairs, building hours, and whether the space is secure overnight.

Hosts provide a certificate of insurance covering the exhibit dates, including coverage for loaned costumes and archival materials.

Hosts provide display tables, picture frames, power access with extension cords, and a projection backdrop or curtains. We’ll send an exact list once your space is confirmed.

Costumes and archival items need stable temperature, no direct sunlight, and controlled lighting. Have someone on site during open hours to greet visitors and keep an eye on the collection.

Hosts cover the curator’s round-trip travel and lodging, and promote the exhibit through their own channels and community networks. We supply graphics, copy, and a sizzle reel 6 weeks before opening.

Every stop partners with a local Black burlesque producer who co-produces the live programming and leads a fundraiser for a local legend or community show. If you already work with a producer, we’ll partner with them. If not, we’ll connect you with one from your area.
