LGBTQIA+ Art Crawl with Petra Zion

We come together to draw, reflect, and talk about current political movements — or whatever is on your heart and mind. In a world that can feel overwhelming, art connects us and is healing. Art always represents that our stories matter, our voices carry weight, and our connections with one another are a form of resistance and care. This is a gentle, open space where art and conversation meet.

📅 Date & Time: Sunday, May 17, 2026, at 4:00 PM (1 hour)

📍 Meeting: 4:00 PM (please join on time so we can begin together)

🖌️ Format:

Each month we gather on the third Sunday to draw together around a shared theme/image. Everyone is welcome to use their own medium — pencil, paint, digital, collage, anything that feels right.

You can choose to:

• Share your artwork at the end
• Talk about your process or just listen
• Keep your piece private — all options are valid

🌱 Community & Support:

This space is about mutual support, especially in times of political change dipped in hate. We center LGBTQIA+ voices, experiences, and solidarity, also allies who come with respect and openness. Whether you’re feeling energized, exhausted, angry, or hopeful — all of it belongs here. You don’t need to have answers, only a willingness to show up.

✨ Goal: Creating a supportive, creative space for expression, connection, and collective reflection — where art becomes a way to process, resist, and care for one another.
