🎨🌈 Art for Resilience Showcase & Youth Art Fair
🗓 Sunday, November 16 | 1:00–3:00 PM

✨ Join us for a vibrant celebration of creativity, connection, and community! 💛

Throughout the fall, LGBTQIA+ youth have gathered in our Art for Resilience workshops — painting, sculpting, writing, and imagining their stories through art. Led by incredible local teaching artists, these sessions explored identity, self-expression, and healing through creativity. Now, it’s time to share their work with the world! 🌟

🖼️ Come see:
🎭 Expressive self-portraits + identity pieces
🐉 Mythical creatures & fantasy worlds
🎶 Musical art inspired by sound
👗 Wearable & edible art creations
📚 Storytelling through illustration & poetry

💛 This joyful event is the culmination of months of youth-led creativity and reflection — all made possible through the generous support of the Tigris Foundation, which uplifts youth voices and art as tools of resilience and change.

🌿 You’re invited to celebrate our young artists’ courage, talent, and imagination. Every piece tells a story — one of growth, strength, and connection. ✨

🎉 FREE + Open to all ages!

🛍️ Youth and community artists will also have art, crafts, and handmade items available for display or sale — come shop, cheer, and connect.

Let’s come together to celebrate art as medicine, community as home, and resilience as joy. 💫
