Art & Acceptance is a weekly Saturday evening drop-in program for young LGBTQ+ people ages 18-29. For more than 20 years, the program has served the community by offering home-cooked meals, a clothing and personal care “shop,” opportunities for art, writing, music, and dance, and access to health, legal, and social services as needed—all in a safe space and free of charge.
G4G volunteers will assist in serving food, running the “shop,” and participating in games and arts activities.
Date: Saturday, April 27
Time: 3:30–7:00pm
