Old School "RENT Party"

In the 1920s, Harlem gave birth to the Rent Party — gatherings where neighbors came together to raise money to help one another keep a roof overhead. Friends would open their homes, a musician would entertain, and a hat would be passed to collect funds for someone in need. These events were about more than rent — they were about resilience, community, and joy in the face of hardship.

A century later, we’re bringing that same spirit to Chicago.

Join Ladies & Gentlemen Night Chi at SpaceISH Chicago for a modern-day Rent Party — an afternoon of good music, good food, and good people coming together for a powerful cause.

This time, we’re raising money to support those in our community who are facing economic challenges by providing grocery gift cards to families in need.
Your ticket doesn’t just buy you entry — it buys someone else relief.

✨ Delicious food & crafted cocktails
🎧 A live DJ, classic dance-floor vibes, BID/spades and other games
💜 Community connections & good energy
🎁 The joy of giving while having fun!

All proceeds will go directly toward purchasing grocery gift cards for individuals and families who have been recommended by trusted community members and organizations. Your presence and participation help us keep the tradition of mutual aid alive — Harlem-style, Chicago-strong.

Come as your fly, grown, and giving self!
Think Harlem Renaissance energy meets modern-day chic — this is a day party with purpose.
