What We Do
The Gold Beams production company produces events made for Black creatives and the Black community at large. We’re also contracted to project manage productions for others.
Our signature event, Second Mondays, is an open mic for an array of Black art and family reunion type communion.
Gold Beams produces unique, weird and fun events that you definitely want to go to.
Our Mission:
Our first mission is to curate spaces that support Black creators making careers from their art. We always say ‘if you like to draw, so do animators at Pixar’.
The second, is to produce events that bring you joy.
Our Story
7 Is a Party
In 2018, the Gold Beams founder invited 7 people around her dining room table to share art and food. There were poets, people who shared stories from their journals, and even a comic strip designer that debuted a new piece.
Pizza and Beer Anyone 🍕🍺?
5 Second Mondays later there were over 50 people in a warm two-story apartment making new friends while enjoying beer, art, and pizza. Very hip & swanky.
We grew into our first home, the Red Bay Roastery, with an official open mic event for a range of art disciplines and free dinner + wine. 100 People attended our first event, 150 shortly after that, and it became a staple ever since. Artists premiered their art, scriptwriters found videographers, curators found venue owners, people made friends :).
It’s the Glow for Me 🌞
Gold Beams has since curated and presented art gallery exhibits, digital performance and interview series, creative sessions, workshops, and a lot of bomb-ass events. We’ve also partnered with some amazing organizations and friends like the Life is Living Festival by Youth Speaks, the Museum of the African Diaspora, UCSF’s Preterm Birth Initiative, as well as the Black Joy Parade, and Lyft. Within our first two years, we’ve hosted over 2,000 people. As we continue to grow, our dreams grow into activating dope spaces all over the world!
Let’s Have The Time of Our Life 🌻
We’re excited to design spaces that we hope you love 🌞!
