“LGBTQ+” encompasses a diverse spectrum of identities, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and others. Inspired by iO Tillett Wright’s TedxWomen Talk, “Fifty Shades of Gay,” our exhibition draws parallels between geographical borders and the nuances of LGBTQ+ experiences in the United States.
Just as geographical lines delineate states and shape our understanding of terrain, societal boundaries often confine and define LGBTQ+ identities. Yet, from a distance, these lines blur, and the nation united as one. “50 Shades of Gay” seeks to provide a platform for Queer artists to express their narratives, whether through exploration of identity, community, or personal journey.
Hosted by Wild Goose Creative.

Register for the Growing and Growth Collective’s annual Juneteenth event, Juneteenth Justice: Pathways to a Sustainable Future. Their goal is to invite the community into conversation with local growers about the ways food producers and food consumers can promote justice, sustainability, and control over what and how we grow and eat.
Their program will feature a keynote with Jim Embry, a nationally-recognized speaker with expertise in Black agriculture and activism in food justice and food sovereignty. They are also hosting a panel discussion on the history and contributions of African Americans in agriculture and the importance of Juneteenth to all Americans.
Agenda for the event:
