Youth in Arts is excited to announce the second annual Here & Queer LGBTQIA+ Pride Month Spotlight Show. This year’s theme, Breaking the Stigma Through Art, aligns with local student curator Eva Hellmold’s ongoing campaign, Break the Stigma (Rooted in Pride, We Bloom), which focuses on mental health within the LGBTQIA+ community. Breaking the STIGMA stands for: Support, Talk, Include, Grow, Mobilize, and Advocate. The Here & Queer 2025 show will provide a platform for young artists to share their voices, challenge stigma, and celebrate queer identity through creative expression.
