This exhibition uplifts the voices of those often unheard: LGBTQ+ artists, disabled and neurodivergent creators, people of color, Indigenous artists, and survivors of violence and systemic harm. This evolving digital space invites all of us to explore what community means, how love can be a radical act, and how art can become a lifeline, reminding us that real love is kind.

For queer and disabled artists, access to traditional art spaces often comes with invisible barriers. From physically inaccessible galleries to the emotional toll of navigating spaces that weren’t built with them in mind, the art world hasn’t always made room for everyone. But digital platforms are shifting that reality. This blog explores how virtual art exhibitions and creative marketplaces can offer accessible, inclusive alternatives that center community care and connect

The Coming Out Day Celebration (CODAC) is a heartfelt, grassroots effort created in collaboration with the Kansas LGBTQ+ community and others around the US. As rights are stripped and visibility is threatened, we’re coming together, locally and globally. With art exhibitions, creative markets, and collective action, this is more than an event, it’s a reminder that community is our greatest strength.
