ABOUT THE PCAC
Twin Cities Pride’s mission is to empower every LGBTQIA2S+ person to live as their true self. The Pride Cultural Arts Center (PCAC) is an exciting step in fulfilling that mission by creating a physical and cultural hub for community, connection, and growth.
The PCAC serves as a dynamic platform for expression, education, and support. With programs like Rainbow Wardrobe, art classes, gallery space, cultural education, and support groups, it provides a welcoming and inclusive environment where individuals and families can feel celebrated and embraced. By highlighting the rich culture of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, the PCAC aims to foster a deep sense of belonging and pride.
There is so much for the community to look forward to at the PCAC, whether through creative outlets, connecting with others, or accessing valuable resources that promote empowerment and well-being. The PCAC is working to become a vital space where the LGBTQIA2S+ community can come together, grow, and thrive.

COMMUNITY ART SHOW
After the Rainbow… What comes after the rainbow? When the parade ends what’s left? How do we envision our collective future shaped by queer joy, connection, and community? When the sun comes up what does it shine on? These are the questions we ask ourselves as we look to artists in our community to help us dream, heal, imagine and make possible our shared future. We are putting together a community show at the Pride Cultural Arts Center featuring LGBTQIA2S+ artists to help us envision this future. All submissions from artists 13 years and older are invited to submit 1 piece for consideration with priority given to Minnesota and Twin Cities metro based artists.
Eligibility

- All submitted work must be the original creation of the artist.
- Artwork generated wholly or partially using artificial intelligence (AI) is not eligible for submission.

Join us at the Pride Cultural Arts Center and learn the basics of hand-embroidery by embroidering a pride flag of your choice onto a tote bag!
