Join The Curve Foundation in celebrating YOU, our community members, as we invite you to an afternoon of festivities, story-telling, and connection. Bring your Curve and Deneuve magazines to Pearl Bar for free Curve swag; all collected materials will be donated to the University of Houston Libraries to start a Curve magazine archive as part of the LGBTQ+ History Research Collection!

There will also be drag king performances, a chance to record your own oral history, lesbian trivia, and tasty nibbles from Sloan Rinaldi of the Netflix series Barbecue Showdown Season 3, and fourth-generation Houston Pitmaster!

“Collect & Connect is not just a celebration of Curve’s rich history—it’s an opportunity to honor and preserve the stories that have shaped our community. I’m thrilled to invite everyone to join us at Pearl Bar as we build a living archive that will inspire and connect future generations. Together, we’ll celebrate the past, share our stories, and create new memories. This event is about coming together as a community, and I can’t wait to see the incredible energy and connection that will come from it.” — Franco Stevens, Founder, Curve magazine.

This is a free event; however, donations are highly encouraged.

*Tickets are limited, so please show up if you rsvp yes!
