PRIDE-FULL 2026

Light | Love | Liberation

Exhibit Dates: May 28 – June 28, 2026

Pride Exhibition

Pride-Full 2026 highlights the fearless work of LGBTQ+ artists and their allies.

Art that refuses to shrink, soften, or sanitize the human experience. Work that speaks to each of us and fills the space with the raw, the radiant, the political, the messy, the joyful, and the defiant.

Join us in celebrating Pride through art that reflects authenticity, courage, and community.

Macaela Camacho-Tenreiro

Just as painters use watercolors and canvas to make art and musicians use instruments and breath to play songs, people turn to stories to connect with each other. In this workshop, participants will practice both sharing and hearing stories in ways that deepen vulnerability, trust, and wonder. By reading poems, listening to oral histories, and writing self-reflections, participants will learn how to weave specific details and imagery into their stories, as well as how to ask curious questions and engage in active listening when others share stories of their own.
