A Quiet Art Evening (Self-Guided) Saturday, 4 July, 6:00pm — 8:00pm Venue: 5 Ellingworth Parade, Box Hill This is a quiet, self-guided (untutored) space to slow down, create, and spend time alongside others. Bring your own materials and something you’d like to work on. It’s an evening to create unhurriedly in a shared space — to make, reflect, and simply be. Through art, we hope to create a gentle space for connection, encouragement, and shared presence. We hope this will become a simple monthly rhythm — a place to keep returning to, to create, connect, and enjoy the process together. If this resonates with you, feel free to RSVP here. PS. A $5 contribution each participant will help cover venue hire, as well as tea/coffee, and biscuits. Limited places — only for people who RSVP. If RSVP is full, message us directly to check availability.

OPEN YOUR SPREADSHEETS AND CHECK YOUR OUTLOOK! It’s time for a send off of our two favourite racks here at Tit Incorporated, two tit retiree’s which will be sorely missed, but necessary to move on to better opportunities, the delicate theatrical mounds of Mx Vergara and the powerful pair from Mx Mascaro. Farewell drinks will begin at 6pm and the party (dancefloor) will start pumping at 8! ([TICKET LINK HERE](https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1607294)) Seeing as this is a company event, it will be themed so that everyone is in work (in)appropriate attire, and if you choose to come out of office (siren) uniform, there will be an additional fee, so we suggest coming in uniform x. We are raising funds for their formal (medical) goodbye, which will be raised from ticket sales, auctions on the night, merch and vendor sales, dances and a raffle, so bring your cash/be ready to do a very professional cash transfer. There will also be performances with audience incorporated efforts so make sure to come ON DOWN! Their tits have been vital to the company for a combined 23 years, starting their service when they separately commenced puberty, and have been on the clock non stop ever since, so we feel it is important to give them a good send off! Parking the info here so we can circle back later! BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW!!!! Please note Pride of our Footscray is only accessible via two flights of stairs. We apologise for our reduced accessibility.
