ALTBALL 2026: ICON

Part artistic spectacle, part fashion show, part underground ball—ALTBALL is a unique creative showcase that is both *of* the community and *for* the community.

For over 35 years, DOORWAYS has provided emergency housing and supportive services for individuals living with HIV in St. Louis and across Missouri and Illinois. Each year DOORWAYS’ programs serve over 3,500 clients facing homelessness and poverty with wrap-around services to stabilize and rebuild their lives.

ALTBALL: ICON celebrates the strength, resilience and beauty of this community—demonstrating what’s possible when everyone is free to be and express themselves at the height of their potential. Join for an unforgettable night of creativity, competition and special performances.

All proceeds to benefit the mission and programs of DOORWAYS—which improves the quality of life of people affected by HIV, illness, and poverty, advancing their stability and well-being through housing, health, and empowerment services.
