The Colorful Collective

Presented by Utah Arts Alliance at Urban Arts Gallery

In celebration of Pride month, the Urban Arts Gallery presents “The Colorful Collective,” a new iteration of our annual SLC Queer show. The exhibition will pay homage to the tribulations of the queer experience in Utah where it is imperative to remain authentic, regardless of the “box” the surrounding community may attempt to apply. The included art is created by Queer-identified artists and relates to Queer themes, including the concepts of embracing one’s own colorful being regardless of identity, shedding one’s proverbial skin, and spreading one’s inspirational light to others. The show also highlights the importance of understanding and communicating Queer history and education. The included artworks emphasize that we can only be stronger in unity and that together, we can transform the darkness in our world into one Colorful Collective.
