Come hear from your LGBTQ+ elders!

Arts and Clacks: Design Your own Pride Fan

In preparation for the annual Pride Worcester festival held on September 7th, 2024, Pride Worcester and Guardians of Tradition co-host an intergenerational fan-making workshop which will be offered to the Greater Worcester community. We will also partner with the Rainbow Elders from the Worcester LGBTQ+ Elders Network (WLEN); LGBTQ+ seniors will be paired with partners in the workshop and will be given guided questions focused on LGBTQ+ history to begin storytelling and sharing amongst partners and groups. Takeaways from the conversations will inspire creative messages on each fan. The fans will be made for the Pride festival and will later be collected for an opening art exhibit for Pride 2025.
