A Look at 2020 Moments

What a year!

Amid the COVID pandemic and a re-awakening to the racial inequities that are systemic throughout our Country we’ve tried to navigate uncertain times…

2020 saw a pause in Center programming; staff changes at the organization; a reimagined celebration of PRIDE  as we were not able to gather together in person…these things could have crippled our community…but we persisted.

Our PRIDE is too PROUD to slink away under the weight of uncertainty–we strike out on new paths; marching forward carrying our flags high!

Our Trailblazers continued to blaze trails as they pivoted to virtual meetings! Our gallery programming ended abruptly, but we’ve worked to bring a little life to the space for passersby! And several wonderful partnerships allowed us to bring content from both coasts to our members and community right here in Central Ohio…
