QNCC features a dynamic creative board tasked with curating its events. This assembly includes notable figures such as Telfar Clemens, Hari Nef, Julio Torres, artist and musician Juliana Huxtable, writer J Wortham, and artist Desi Santiago. “In this era, when the current administration is increasingly marginalizing people, there’s a real need for a sanctuary,” Santiago remarks. “Now more than ever, unity is essential.”

The inaugural event at QNCC, titled Slambient, was envisioned as a soothing counterpoint to a weekend filled with partying or nightlife activity. On October 5, the venue welcomed around 800 guests, many of whom were seen napping, engaging in conversations, snacking, reading, enjoying massages, dancing, and stretching throughout the day. This extended event also featured ambient DJ performances and well-attended discussions addressing topics like addiction and self-care.

Attendee Max Vale, 25, expressed his desire to gain insights into nightlife from community members. “I aspire to be a responsible nightlife participant who can enhance these spaces,” he shared. “I want to give back because nightlife has significantly impacted my life.”

Summer Surgent, a 26-year-old bartender, approached QNCC with a sense of “skeptical confidence.” “I’m intrigued to see how [QNCC] evolves, as there isn’t a clear model for something like this,” they said.

Young Sun Han, 42, who identifies as an emerging nightlife elder, is drawn to the concept of a communal space that encapsulates fun, safety, and sustainability. “Launching something with a 501(c)(3) structure and securing a longer lease, along with collaborating with the city, means that the vibrant energy and effort invested can last longer,” they explained. “It fosters community in a way that is not only more exhilarating and joyful but also ensures we look out for one another.”
