Ready to rage… in couture?

The Dairy’s most anticipated night of the year is back — and this time it’s punk, polished, and proudly over the top. PEEK 2025: A Neo Punk Gala isn’t just a fundraiser — it’s a full-throttle, immersive celebration of rebellion, artistry, and expressive fashion that refuses to play by the rules.

The Dress Code?

Channel Vivienne Westwood’s rebellious elegance, Bowie’s extraterrestrial flair, or your own avant-garde alter ego. Whether you’re draped in leather, spikes, sequins, or neon mesh — bring the chaos, bring the creativity, and above all, bring you. There’s only one rule: no rules.

🧨 What Exactly Is PEEK?

Each spring, the Dairy Arts Center drops the mic with its biggest benefit event of the year. PEEK isn’t just a party — it’s an electric collision of art, fashion, and fundraising that transforms the Dairy into a living, breathing art piece.

This year’s Neo Punk theme invites guests to lean into the bold, the beautiful, and the bizarre. The evening features everything from edgy installations and interactive art to boundary-blurring performances and runway-ready outfits. It’s Boulder’s most imaginative night — all in the name of supporting local arts.

🎭 Why Boulder’s Arts Scene Rocks

Boulder punches way above its weight when it comes to creativity. This city has long been a haven for thinkers, makers, musicians, misfits, and dreamers — and places like the Dairy Arts Center make it possible for that creative energy to thrive.

Whether you’ve seen a sold-out indie film screening, wandered through an offbeat art exhibit, or caught an experimental dance show in a black box theater — chances are the Dairy had something to do with it. Proceeds from PEEK help fund this magic: year-round programming, youth arts education, emerging artists grants, and more. So when you show up, dance it out, and sip something fancy, you’re directly fueling the future of Boulder’s creative culture.

In short?

Support the arts. Make a scene. And let your outfit scream.

This is one Boulder bash you do not want to miss. 🎤💥
