THE renaissance is here
n3ptune // he,him
Named the Best Breakout Artist of 2023 by Westword Magazine, N3PTUNE is an explosive queer multi-hyphenate hailing from Denver, CO. His songs are bold and brash, and his live performances are immersive and raw to the point where Sleigh Bells’ Alexis Krauss likened the experience to “seeing Prince live for the first time” and proceeded to invite him to tour with them on the spot. His penchant for pushing fashion and performance art in visuals and live performances has allowed him to carve a lane for himself unlike anything that has come before.
Real magic is brought to life by the individuals we bring out to let their talents shine.
OUR ASL TERPS increase accessibility for those who are deaf or hard of hearing. OUR FEATURED PHOTOGRAPHER JOINS US TO CAPTURE THE MAGIC AND MAYHEM, AND Videographer Kim Shively documents the EVENT.

Scott Lehmann // HE, HIM
Scott Lehmann is a deaf mountaineer, educator, storyteller, and MHW athlete. He was born into a multigenerational deaf family and raised in the deaf community. Growing up, there wasn’t much deaf representation in the outdoors and he faced limited access to outdoor education due to communication barriers. It wasn’t after college that he taught himself to climb mountains by studying YouTube videos and asking other climbers on mountains using paper and pen to communicate. Over the last ten years, Scott has climbed the world’s highest mountains like Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Denali, and Aconcagua. Beyond the peaks, his passion lies in making the outdoors accessible for the deaf and hard-of-hearing communities, spreading awareness, and changing global perceptions of deaf individuals.

Honeysuckle Handmade Studio is a vehicle for Cat to practice ART AS ACTIVISM. Those who support this business in turn support non-profits that focus on social and environmental justice.
