The Artists LOFT | Monday, February 27th, 2023 | 6:30pm - 8:30pm at The LOFT |  FREE | Bring Your Creativity

Black History Month honors the contributions of black lives, but black queer lives are often overlooked/minimized when discussing The Civil Rights Movement or the contemporary Social Justice Movement. Queer people of color have played key roles in both the Black and LGBTQ+ movements inspiring us with examples of leadership, resilience, and bravery that have uplifted both communities.  February's Artists LOFT is a special workshop designed to highlight the extraordinary contributions of our Black LGBTQ+ leaders through a creative artistic medium.  Join Artist-in-Residence Sphynxx Deity as they guide the workshop participants through the process of activism through creative expression. 

ALL are welcome!

Please note that The LOFT's office will be closed for President's Day, Monday, February 20, 2023. No groups are scheduled.

If you require assistance, please use our Helpline information and someone will get back to you upon our return on Tuesday, February 21, 2023.
