PoMoArts is planning the third True Colours Youth Art Exhibition to celebrate Pride Month in June 2024.
The True Colours exhibition is creating a safe and welcoming space for Tri-City LGBTQIA2S+ youth, their families, and their allies, where they are respected for their differences and their unique contributions. It is a celebration of youth artists (age 12-19) who identify as queer, questioning or allies of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. The goal is to encourage and promote inclusivity and diversity within the Tri-Cities arts community among our young people.
For the True Colours exhibition, PoMoArts is inviting youth artists to submit original artwork that explores themes of identity, family and culture. School District 43 (Port Moody, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Anmore and Belcarra) students are encouraged to apply.
The exhibition runs from May 16 – July 8, 2024. An invite-only True Colours Artist Reception will be held on June 6, 2024 for the artists to invite their friends and family. In addition, True Colours artists are invited to attend the public Opening Reception for all PoMoArts exhibitions in this show on May 16, 2024.
