Description

Two days. Two distinct gatherings. One shared commitment to study, solidarity, and wonder. Poetic Promenade is the School for Poetic Computation’s first large-scale community event and annual fundraiser—reimagining prom and graduation as collective rituals of art, technology, and lifelong learning. Join us for one day or both.

Prom

Saturday, June 20th, 8:30pm—12am

A party. A performance. A dance floor.

A night of DJs, live performances, and interactive installations—in the liminal space between a high school, a club, and an internet café. Dress to impress and move your body.

Featuring DJ sets and live performances from Switch Angel + LO.FI.SCI.FI and more to be announced!

Single-day ticket for prom: $65

Graduation

Sunday, June 21st, 3pm—6:30pm

A ceremony. A conversation. A collective reflection.

A seated program featuring talks, reflections, and our graduation ritual honoring SFPC alumni. Expect an afternoon of listening, learning, and witnessing.

Featuring a keynote from Kelli Anderson, an honorary degree award to Stephanie Dinkins, and custom diplomas made by CW&T.

Single-day ticket for graduation: $65

Weekend Passes

Come for both days. Pay it forward.

Weekend passes are intentionally priced higher than individual tickets. When you purchase a pass, you are redistributing your wealth—supporting scholarships, teacher pay, and the long-term sustainability of SFPC.

1 ticket to both days + SFPC stationary pack.

2 tickets to both days + SFPC stationary pack.

4 tickets to both days + SFPC stationary pack.

Sponsor Passes

Go above and beyond. Support SFPC behind-the-scenes.

Sponsor passes are for those who want to more substantially support SFPC’s programs while joining us for a more intimate, behind-the-scenes experience.

2 tickets to both days + SFPC gift bags + pre-prom reception. Includes an additional donation ($300) that supports assistant teacher pay for one class.

4 tickets to both days + SFPC gift bags + pre-prom reception. Includes an additional donation ($600) that supports lead teacher pay for one class.

Solidarity Tickets for Alumni

We have a limited number of tickets at the solidarity rate ($25 single-day, $50 weekend) available for alumni. Check your email for a sign-up link!

Why this matters

SFPC is an independent, experimental school founded on mutual aid, reciprocity, and education for all.

We believe there is enough wealth within our extended community to ensure that no one is turned away from learning due to cost.

Poetic Promenade is how we practice our values together, publicly.

Your ticket directly supports:

  • Free and subsidized classes
  • Accessible public programs
  • Fair pay for teachers and staff

If you are able, we invite you to give generously. If you are not, we invite you to come celebrate with us anyway.

Can’t attend?

If you can't attend Poetic Promenade, you can still be part of it.

Your contribution directly supports community members in attending Poetic Promenade and participating in SFPC programs—ensuring that cost is never a barrier to learning, gathering, or celebrating.
