We are thankful to have connected with many of you in the month of June across several community events. Your smiles and passion for diversity, equity and inclusion keep us going. We are so appreciative for all the support you showed us last month and can't wait to see you all again! |

It was a huge success with food trucks, performers, speakers, local businesses and resources present. The Larimer County Department of Health and Environment was able to provide vaccinations on-site and overall the community showed an immense amount of support and love that day!
We had such a great time with everyone
and hope it was an educational celebration to remember!

We could not have made this event happen without our donors and sponsors who value and support diversity and inclusion in our community. Please check them out and support them!

Love was abound in Loveland with two Pride events in June!
First we joined Loveland Pride for the Pride on the Rooftop event. There was food, drag performances, guest speakers, dancing to DJ Brian Howe, raffles and so many smiles! Heart and Sol was honored to have been selected as the non-profit organization to receive proceeds from the event. We humbly thank Loveland Pride and the attending community members who showed support for our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and our goal to make Loveland a more welcoming place for all.
The following day, we joined Loveland's first Pride March! The community came together after the march where there were speakers who eloquently shared their stories and Mayor Marsh's Pride proclamation from City Council was read aloud for all to hear.
Many thanks to the Loveland Pride group and LGBTQ+ community for making all of it possible! We would also like to thank
for the city and county Pride Proclamations!

Loveland Museum Classes, Camps & Workshops |

The Loveland museum is a great partner and supporter of Heart and Sol. With summer here, we want to make sure everyone knows that they offer a variety of art classes for all ages. These classes allow students the opportunity to explore a variety of mediums with talented instructors. For most classes, no previous art experience is required. Unless specified, all supplies are provided for each class.
