Monday, March 13th - 10:00am - 6:00pm, 7:30pm - midnight (wrap party)

All are welcome at The Lush House—a playful experience that celebrates our vibrant heritage and the bright future ahead.

Lush Cosmetics infamously came off all Meta platforms in 2021 in a controversial move, praised and criticized by the industry in equal measures. Join us to be immersed in creative chaos and learn how we're pushing the boundaries of innovation at the intersection of cosmetics, activism and technology by exploring what it means to be anti-social and inventing an ethical digital future.
