In our Gallery and Display Case: Artists from our LGBTQIA+ community

June’s Art Exhibition epitomizes the profound sense of pride and communal spirit shared by LGBTQIA+ individuals and their allies. Featuring a diverse array of artistic mediums, crafted both by members within the LGBTQIA+ community and those in solidarity with it, the exhibition is a testament to the rich tapestry of creativity and pride within a historically marginalized group.

If you are a local artist, or have a hobby or interest you’d like to share with the community, please give us a call at 978-948-2850.
