“Part cabaret, part cabinet of curiosities, Carytown's Révéler is charmingly idiosyncratic... The deeper you go... the weirder it gets. The wildly eclectic lineup of events veers across genres.” - STYLE WEEKLY
Révéler serves diverse, inclusive communities and is dedicated to providing harassment-free art and music experience for everyone. Guests represent the full rainbow of genders, ages, sexual orientations, disabilities, physical appearances, body sizes, races, ethnicities, political views, music skill-levels, musical styles, and spiritualities. Révéler is committed to the health, safety, and welfare of each of its guests and staff and will not tolerate unreasonable, threatening, obscene, harassing, indecent, or illegal behavior.
Our MISSION is to deliver experiences that are inclusive of the full rainbow of musicianship and accessible to diverse audiences, staff, and performers.
Our VISION is to be a cultural institution with a global reputation for exquisite live music experiences spanning generations.
Our PRINCIPLES are: BE COOL (practice peace, love, kindness, and respect together in this space); LISTEN (focus your attention on the performance); and COURAGE (the good stuff is beyond the comfort zone. Go there bravely.)
