The Way of Yes

Participate

You are the party! The more you give, the more effort you put in, the better the experience guaranteed. Play. Explore. Wear that fabulous outfit or sexy costume, start a conversation with a stranger, dance like no one gives a fuck. This is your party, participate! Make eye-contact. Turn off your phone, turn on your heart.

Respect

Our space and objects within it are sacred to us. Harm and destruction of all kinds are forbidden. Your entry into our home is a promise to respect and protect it. Honor the humans who work to make this all possible. Show kindness, love and composure to your fellow guests, staff and the creators and they will do so in return.

Yes means Yes

Consent is everything, on and off the dance floor. Always ASK before a physical interaction and be sure to get a clear definite “yes” before getting intimate. It’s ok to say no at House of Yes. Consent is simple: the safer we feel, the sexier we are. If you’re not down with consent, we kindly ask that you party elsewhere or better yet… nowhere.

Be your best self

House of Yes is dedicated to providing freedom from judgment, fear, racism, sexism, and all forms of discrimination. Explore your inner best self, creativity and curiosity. Every guest is responsible for upholding this as a safe space for each other to celebrate in, and our staff is available to assist if ever necessary.

 

WHo We Are

We are a collective of creatives, performers and innovators who live to support artistic expression, performance, nightlife and community. Our home is the House of Yes in Bushwick Brooklyn – our venue and incubation space fueled by passion and designed to inspire. Together we build intimate experiences, spectacular entertainment, killer parties and outrageous events anywhere and everywhere.

House of Yes was created in 2007 by Kae Burke and Anya Sapozhnikova, two best friends who just wanted to make art and have a good time. With lots of help and lots of love, the original idea of House of Yes have transformed into a reality beyond what anyone ever imagined.

How did it all come to be? It’s a long story
