Join Value Culture in celebrating SF ART WEEK with a Special Edition of Motown on Mondays at Madrone Art Bar in San Francisco on January 20th, 2025 MLK Jr. Day, 7pm-2am.
MOM (Motown On Mondays) is arguably the world's largest weekly dance party, Motown On Mondays. Working with over 100 DJs, musicians, and producers we have paved the way to make Monday the new Friday in terms of bar sales, attendance, and energy. Our events have landed us in every major market across North America and beyond. Having touched down in over 40+ cities worldwide and currently hosting regular events in 15 of them, MOM DJS & EVENTS represent the most unique soul parties on the planet. Founded in San Francisco by Donovan Gordo. “We truly have one of the most diverse audiences, which is true for all our cities. I think it's the nature of Motown music as that's what it was specifically designed for, per Berry Gordy's vision, music everyone can enjoy/relate to.”

History of the event
Back from Tony Bravo & the SF Chronicle in January 2019:
Friday: Shabbat and Staying Ever Gold-en
Friday, Jan. 18, is Ever Gold Projects’ official 10th anniversary party at Chinatown dive bar EZ5, co-hosted with McClintock by DJ Eug (Eugene Whang) and Adam Swig. The evening begins with a traditional Jewish Shabbat breaking of the challah, which has “Ever Gold” baked into it.
“Shabbat is supposed to be a sundown thing, but it’s San Francisco,” jokes Swig. “We do what we want.”
Swig continues, comparing the light of the Shabbat candles to the light that art shines on a community. McClintock originally started Ever Gold in a space in the Tenderloin before moving to Minnesota Street Project two years ago. It’s been quite the ride, he says, from publishing SFAQ and the Tenderloin to being a gallery that straddles the line between catering to traditional collectors and attracting the younger tech generation (Ever Gold even accepts cryptocurrency). Once the old-school hip-hop bumps up on the speakers, it becomes less an art week party and more a night at the club. McClintock later reports he was out until 5 a.m. celebrating.
“I think we need to have one of these every year, at art week,” he says.
