GIVIN GLAMOR! CUTTIN' CHECKS!
Founded in 2025, NYC
The HausIM is deeply rooted in the belief that the ballroom community deserves to be seen, heard, and supported— through financial aid, mentorship, and collective resources.
We are on the mission to preserve, amplify, and advance the underground ballroom culture by supporting and empowering the creative artists at its core.


The HausIM was founded by Iris and Myles, the Auntie and Founding Mother of The Artistic Haus of Telfar—two passionate and experienced leaders within the ballroom community. They have seen firsthand the barriers faced by many artists in the ballroom scene and are dedicated to creating a space where they can thrive. With a focus on empowerment and artistic growth, The HausIM seeks to provide resources, funding, and opportunities for both individual artists and Houses to foster creative expression. Their mission is rooted in uplifting Black, Brown, queer, and trans artists, ensuring their contributions are celebrated and sustained.
Through community engagement and artistic development, The HausIM strives to cultivate a vibrant, inclusive, and enduring legacy for ballroom culture.
