Rainbow Dome

Rainbow Dome’s mission is to steward our collective joy. Based in Denver, Rainbow Dome is a queer-centric hub that gathers people across differences to experience joy-in-motion through art and activities. We are a community venue for roller skating, entertainment, and art. Rainbow Dome’s values are Queer, Creativity, Accessibility, Accountability, Joy & Silliness, and Shared Abundance. We use Queer as a noun, verb, and adjective to question status quo and to expand the possibilities for self expression, for artmaking, for gathering, for living, and for joymaking. Our vision is a more playful world that values accountability and connectedness. Rainbow Dome’s programming is threefold:

• Events through the Art of Gathering: Rainbow Dome produces events to invite our audience to experience joy-in-motion. One of our primary activities is roller skating. Other forms our events have taken are dance parties, parades, pride festivals, and live performances.
• Creative World Building: Rainbow Dome fabricates artwork to elevate our audience’s experience of joy, silliness and play. Rainbow Dome’s artistic process is communal and collaborative, creating artwork that is experiential and invites activation by the audience.
• Platforms for Artists & Creatives: We are building a movement with artists and community members to create more financial opportunities through our programming and networks, recommending these collaborators to our institutional partners, and increasing their visibility through our marketing capacity, so artists can thrive here in Denver.
