What a beautiful way to begin the summer.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Echoes of Pride yesterday. The music, movement, laughter, dancing, and community spirit transformed Centanni Park into a celebration of love, liberation, and belonging.

A very special thank you to The Haus of Glitter. Your work reminds us that joy can be resistance, that movement can be healing, and that community can be revolutionary. Through your artistry, activism, and unapologetic celebration of self-expression, you invited all of us to imagine a more vibrant, liberated world. We are deeply grateful for your generosity, your vision, and the light you brought to our stage.

Thank you as well to all of our performers, partners, volunteers, staff, and audience members who made this gathering possible. These photos capture only a glimpse of the magic we experienced together.

May we continue building spaces where everyone is seen, celebrated, and free to shine.

Until next time. ✨

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Thank you to all who attended last night’s meditative art workshop, Painting from the Bones, with .punkmonk.

Throughout the evening, participants reflected on how the process helped them break out of a creative rut, overcome overthinking/perfectionism, how to process challenging emotions, in addition to learning something about their inner landscape.

Thank you .punkmonk for leading our inaugural art workshop at the gallery! ❤️

Join us for our next workshop on June 15, 2026 from 5:00 - 7:00 PM. For details, please visit: multiculturalartscenter.org
