Welcome to Holidaze - a Crafter’s Club and Trade*Crew Secret Swap Session for [19+] Dancers with Cultural Heritage Teachings brought into their wares, life, and luxury.

If you’re creating your art correctly, every jingle is a holiday ornament - and every party is a flea market.

HOLIDAZE was initially funded by the Vancouver Foundation’s DTES Small Arts Grant in January of 2026, under a grant by Karlie Mizrahi-Hart - a Sex Worker living at WISH in the Downtown East Side.

This land is the traditional territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, and will forever be peace kept by the community of locals who understand this is still Unceded Territory. It has been a local and increasingly recent haven for sex workers who have been prosecuted in many territories around the world. Many of these performers are open about our histories about being persecuted as racialized*passed folks, judged for our demand to reconnect properly to our culture, and know that there is more to life than being stuck without the true colours of our community.

HOLIDAZE is an impulse-beading circle, gathering, and developmental project around party-planning in Community where we are able to collectively gather around more than one culture’s celebrations - and all show up in our best ware.

If you, or a donor you know is dedicated to the continued engagement of a group of mixed-ethnic individuals with their own spiritual and cultural artistic development, please consider donating today to HOLIDAZE. As a Collective, HOLIDAZE is dedicated to the Community Documentation of Reconnection - as per the correct government funding allocation around Truth and Reconciliation for Black, Indigenous, and otherwise Racialized Individuals under White Regime Power (ie. unethical democracy with racial segregation). No party at HOLIDAZE is required to define their ethnicity to engage in art.

It is your responsibility to pick up what belongs to you.

If you are a dance organizer with an awareness of the impacts of YouTube, Language, Sign Language (Multilingual) Awareness, and Mad/Disabled Front Line Experience, and are located within Vancouver - please consider reaching out. We are always looking for more core team members for our Volun*paid Team. Must be LOCAL to Vancouver & willing to meet in Vancouver Public Library for Accessible Resources.
