TUFFEST, set to take place on July 9th, 2016, is a celebration of visual art, performance and education with a goal of uplifting, expanding and celebrating the female & non-binary electronic music community through the TUF collective.

This is a two part event, split between day and night.The daytime portion of the festival is funded by a grant from the City of Seattle’s Office of Arts & Culture. It will be held in Judkins Park and will be free and open to the public to uphold our commitment to accessibility. The park will be filled with interactive visual art installations, musical performances, workshops and TUF TALKS -- artists and women in creative industries are spotlighted through panels, interviews or conversational talks.  The evening is when TUF really takes over. More information to come...

TUF LUV is a positive, loving, and collaborative community celebration of women, trans, and non-binary artists, educators & musicians in Seattle. We invite you to join us for a day of workshops, music, readings, performances, large-scale art installations, movement, and interactive exhibits at King Street Station, closing with a release of the first TUF zine and a live performance TBA.
