Salmon Arm Pride Project is excited to present a 4-day festival designed to bring awareness to LGBTQ2S+ issues through the arts. Salmon Arm Art Gallery will host the PRIDE exhibition of visual arts from October 14 to 17, 2020 featuring collaborative artworks and individual work from LGBTQ2S+ artists. During that same time, a series of virtual events will be released on Salmon Arm Arts Centre’s YouTube channel, including education, music, and a special drag queen story time and Family Saturdays art project on Saturday, October 17 with Freida Whales.
There are in-person activities to enjoy during the October 14 to 17 Pride Project festival, including Salmar Theatre’s Pride Movie-fest featuring four LGBTQ2S+ movies, and the Pride Pop-Up Shop at 121 Hudson Avenue NE. One can enjoy the Downtown Window Display Contest from October 5 to 17. The festival wraps with a digital inclusive Sunday Sermon from First United Church on October 18, available on YouTube at 11am.
