Event Description: Sip + Create Pride Party
A themed art night for creatives.
"What I liked about the rainbow is that it fits all of us. It's all the colors. It represents all the genders. It represents all the races. It's the rainbow of humanity" --Gilbert Baker, designer of the Pride flag.
Paint the rainbow with this fun art + writing workshop in celebration of Pride Month. In this workshop, we'll write about the queer experience, gender, and identity. Then, we'll pair our writing with a rainbow-colored piece of art.
