Why are your some of your events more expensive than other places?

We get it—our pricing might seem a little higher than some other events in the city. But here’s the thing: we’re not just another party venue or bar. The Autonomy Project is about safety, community, and advocacy—and that sets us apart.

Unlike other spaces that let in just anyone, we’re fiercely protective of our community. Our events are intentionally designed to be safe, inclusive, and free of harm, and that starts with how we vet and curate our attendees. The Autonomy Project was founded by fems and thems who understand firsthand the importance of creating spaces where everyone—not just some—can feel respected, celebrated, and secure.

We don’t just talk about safety; we live it. Our team has systems in place to keep abusers, predators, and anyone who would victimize our community out of our space. Our policies are strict because they need to be. This isn’t a random bar or club—it’s a space built on trust, care, and advocacy for the people who need it most.

But let’s not forget—our space isn’t just safe; it’s luxurious. When you walk in, you’re stepping into a sanctuary designed to delight and comfort. From custom lighting that creates the perfect vibe, to plush pillows and cozy nooks for connection, to fully stocked bathrooms with high-quality toiletries, every detail is thoughtfully crafted to make you feel cared for. This isn’t just an event space; it’s a retreat where you can fully relax and be yourself.

And because we’re owned and operated by the community, we don’t rely on alcohol sales or crammed rooms to make ends meet. Instead, every ticket directly supports a nonprofit that’s doing the work—advocating for marginalized groups, creating resources, and maintaining a space where safety and inclusivity come first. Every dime goes back into the community.

When you attend one of our events, you’re not just buying a ticket—you’re investing in a space created by and for people who will fight to protect you. You’re helping ensure that spaces like ours remain a sanctuary, not just for tonight, but for the future. And honestly? That’s a value you can’t put a price on.

MEMBERS ONLY EVENTS

Members only events happen once a month to once every other month, and represent very specific niches of our community.

Our members only events are carefully curated to safeguard the privacy and safety of our members. Members must undergo a screening process to be approved, and must maintain a positive and healthy relationship with the community throughout. We do not tolerate consent violations, abuse, bigotry, racism, or any type of hateful conduct. Our job is to provide a unique sanctuary for our members to explore, connect, and grow.

To access member's only events, you will need to access the Upcoming Events page inside your dashboard. It's free to sign up, but you will need to have an active membership to purchase tickets.
