The Brown Line is curated by a human, not scraped by an algorithm. Submission doesn't guarantee inclusion, but every event is reviewed by hand.

Who should submit

Artists, organizers, venues, collectives, bookstores, museums, restaurants, mutual aid groups, DJs, film programmers, workshop hosts, and community groups.

What we look for

Events rooted in Global South diaspora communities: culturally specific programming, underpromoted neighborhood events, community fundraisers, independent artists, immigrant-owned spaces, cross-cultural solidarity, and accessible, free, or low-cost gatherings.
