MINDER MONDAY

Join us at Krismatic every first Monday of each month a queer safe space for gender-affirming self-care, education, services, and community.

Krismatic providers will discount their services or offer donation-based services for our LGBTQIA+ community; donations will be given to Transponder. They will hold a clothing swap, education on hair, skin, and nails, and more.

Krismatic is passionate about helping our neighbors express themselves and feel comfortable in their skin and looks forward to continuing to build community.
