Idle Hands Collective is partnering with Partridge Haus, a queer art, design, and culture collaborative known for transforming traditional spaces into nightclub-museum hybrids, to present HAUS PARTY 003 on Friday, May 15, from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Somerville Museum.
Coinciding with the museum’s reopening, HAUS PARTY 003 invites guests to experience a reimagined museum environment through an evening of visual art, live performances, and music- described by organizers as their own “Night(club) at the (Somerville) Museum.” This edition’s theme is “Systems,” encouraging attendees to explore the often-unseen structures that shape everyday life, movement, relationships, and access.
“Boston is loudly calling for third spaces to exist,” said David Raposo, founder of Idle Hands Theater Collective. “In a city where space is sacred, you have to get creative. So why not party in a museum, surrounded by art, performance, and music?”
Food will be available for purchase throughout the evening from Wild Fox Pierogi, with drinks also available on site. This is a 21+ event. Tickets are offered on a sliding scale from $15–$35, with Pay-What-You-Can admission available at the door the night of the event.

ABOUT Idle Hands Theater Collective:
Founded in response to a growing lack of accessible performance space in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and the rigid siloing of artistic disciplines, Idle Hands is a decentralized performance collective. We create spaces for interdisciplinary artists to share risk, process, and performance, showing what becomes possible when artistic boundaries are removed. Idle Fest is fiscally sponsored by the Brookline Community Center for the Arts and produced in partnership with JSF Productions.
