Join us this Thursday from 4pm to 6pm for community building and artful expression in preparation for the National Strike this Friday. No requirements to RSVP, just come as you are. If you'd like to donate any art supplies, we greatly appreciate it. They can be brought to the event or any time beforehand here at Quince.
Like many of you, we continue to feel helpless and alone while witnessing the horrors of this administration. This Friday, we will be joining Americans nationwide to strike in solidarity with Minnesota and call for the abolishing of ICE. While we will not be open for full coffee service, we will be home to welcome you with a free cup of coffee and a safe space to be in community. We encourage you to share a table and share a conversation. Resources will be available to connect and donate to local organizations like @corapidresponsenetwork @co_immigrant and @casadepazco.

All the rumors are true. Construction got us. This week Quince St. will be occupied with construction workers and trucks but we'll continue to be OPEN. Easy access to the house can be achieved via East Bound Colfax or North Bound Quebec through the Laundromat parking lot. We appreciate your continued support.

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of our community, we've already begun to create our Quince Community Pantry. This pantry is available to anyone with food or toiletry needs. We know at Quince that food is a right for all and not a privilege for some. This pantry will operate until November 16th. Any items beyond what we can stock at Quince will be donated to our friends at @thefaxpartnership. If you're able to donate, feel free to bring items during business hours, 7am to 5pm 7 days a week.
Día de los Muertos
“We are because of them”
Our Quince ofrenda for Día de Los Muertos is in honor of our queer and transgender community members who have ascended to their spiritual home. Día de Los Muertos is an annual multi-day celebration originating in pre-colonial Mexico to invite back these ancestors with a special focus each day. While we honor all who have passed, we dedicate our alter specifically to our queer and transgender loved ones who too often are lost to the hatred and systematic oppressions here in this country. This ofrenda will remain as an offering for those ancestors from November 1st until November 20th, Transgender Day of Remembrance.
The veil is thin between our worlds. We can see them and they see us - loving, fighting, living for them and our futures. Their lives were not in vain but in the pursuit of a better world for all of us. They invited us, so we invite them to our ofrenda...
Our saints of It Gets Better.
Our elders of Love Wins.
Our ancestors of Trans Lives Matter.
Our Angels of the Get-Through (Andrea Gibson).
Our pink sunsets, white clouds and blue oceans 🏳️⚧️
Our rainbows in the storm 🌈
Our Two-Spirits. Our dolls. Our kings. Our queens.
May they live on in euphoria and the knowledge that we will remember them as the beacons of light in the trans community.
If you would like to join us in honoring our queer and trans loved ones this season, and would like to contribute a photo of a loved one, email us at quincecoffeehouse.events@gmail.com. We look forward to celebrating them. 💖
