Get inspired by Machine’s playlist to make a multi-sensory collage, then, showcase your unique style by costuming your own vibrant paper doll.

The Art of Drag
Floor 1, Lobby
Celebrate a breadth of divine drag artistry transcending age and ability at this showcase of queer joy in every form.

Pride & Wrath: Conversations on the Artistry of Access

On the cusp between LGBTQ+ Pride Month in June and Disability Pride Month in July, experience three wide-ranging conversations on artistic motivations, the everyday practice of access, and how activists’ legacies echo into our world today. Please note: RSVP is required for these conversations and space is limited.
