Where Art Meets Imagination
Under the Moon

The SLC Lunatics host imaginative gatherings where artists, performers, and curious attendees co-create unforgettable nights of storytelling, art, and connection. Events range from backyard speakeasies to myth-themed masquerades to cozy open mics under the stars. Always magical. Always welcoming.

Whether you’re here to perform, collaborate, or simply witness something real—you belong.

Not Just Events. Worlds.

SLC Lunatics is a community of storytellers, dreamers, and curious souls. We create immersive experiences—part performance, part ritual, part wild experiment. Think candlelit speakeasies, mythic masquerades, backyard open mics. Always magical. Always welcoming.

Who are the SLC Lunatics?

We are a creative community and event collective based in Salt Lake City. Our mission is to build imaginative worlds that spark connection through art, story, music, and shared play. Each event is designed to be immersive, inclusive, and unforgettable. We blur the lines between audience and artist—so you don’t need to perform to belong.

What's Happening Now

Each event is a world of its own. Some are intimate storytelling nights, others are full-blown theatrical experiences with interactive elements. You can come as an artist, an audience member, or both.

Storytellers Canvas

A sanctuary for expression. A ritual of revelation. An incubator for artistic souls.

The Storyteller’s Canvas is your monthly sanctuary for connection through art, story, and creation—a soft-lit space where your truths take shape in whatever form they need: memory, poetry, movement, music, or visual magic.

Held on the last Tuesday of each month, this is more than a gathering—it’s an artist incubator for raw expression, creative courage, and cross-medium collaboration.

Each month unveils a new rotating visual + experiential theme, offering fresh prompts and playful constraints for artists of all kinds. Whether you’re sharing a first draft, a deep truth, or a finished piece, this space honors it all.

Here, your secrets are safe with the moon.

The LucidVerse - Epic Parties

A portal. A party. A waking dream.

The Lucidverse is a series of immersive, art-fueled events where story and reality blur. Each gathering is a one-night world—crafted from wonder, built by community, and alive with music, movement, and magic.

These aren’t just parties. They’re pop-up realms where you don’t attend—you become.

Step inside. Dress the dream. Build the world.

Pop-Up Experience Design

Lose yourself. Find yourself. Repeat.

We create immersive, ephemeral experiences that slip between the cracks of the everyday. Whether it’s a backyard concert under the stars, a secret séance with a touring magician, or a surreal micro-world of our own design—our goal is always the same:

To lead you into a liminal space where wonder lives, and where you remember parts of yourself the world forgot.

Some events are public.
Some are whispered.
All are unforgettable.

The SLC Lunatics specialize in crafting moments that blur the line between party, performance, and ritual. We pop up, transform a space, open a portal—and vanish before reality remembers how to find us.

Come chase the strange.
Come dance with the unexpected.
Come lose yourself… to find yourself.

New Here? Start Here.

New? Perfect. You don’t need a costume, a script, or even a “talent.” Just curiosity, and a willingness to witness wonder.

Many guests simply show up to one of our many events, enjoy the vibe, and watch others perform. Some sign up to share a story, poem, or song. Others dress in theme and dance in the candlelight, other volunteer or raise their hand to co-create. There’s no wrong way to participate.
