Community in Color is a celebration of queer creativity, embodied joy, and shared belonging.
Our May Art Show centers queer artists and raises funds for Trans Northland, supporting the dignity, safety, and flourishing of trans and gender-diverse people in our region. We believe art tells the truth about who we are, and who we are becoming—and that faith is something lived and visible, expressed through beauty, generosity, and imagination.
Featuring original artwork, handmade goods, and Drag Story Hour, this event makes room for playful disruption, bold self-expression, and stories that widen our understanding of belonging for all ages. We come together to celebrate art that liberates, generosity that sustains, and a community where no one is asked to hide.

2026-05-19 19:30 - 21:00 | Minnesota JCC Sabes Center Minneapolis, 4330 Cedar Lk Rd S, Minneapolis, MN, 55416, United States
Amy Levy was a 19th century Anglo-Jewish lesbian poet, novelist, and essayist, much admired in her lifetime by Oscar Wilde and many others. The second Jewish woman at Cambridge University and the first at Newnham College, Cambridge—where she experienced considerable sexism and antisemitism– Levy’s literary output explored the early feminist ideal of the “New Woman,” insisting on greater independence for women and the removal of behavioral constraints. While there has been a resurgence of interest in her work since the 1990s, owing largely to feminist scholars, Lubet’s composition is the first professional musical setting of her poetry.
