We strive to accomplish that in many ways including programming art exhibits and performances in mainstream public venues, social networking opportunities, and workshops and seminars.
The Pride Center’s mission is to provide a welcoming, safe space — an inclusive home that celebrates, nurtures and empowers the LGBTQ communities and our friends and neighbors in South Florida. Participating Artists Include: Paul Dominic Gregory Little Jane Kreinberg Francisco Sheuat John Coppola
