Pride in Equity
June 19, 2026 | ART GALLERY OF BURLINGTON
Pride in Equity transforms the Art Gallery of Burlington into a fully immersive, multi-room experience inspired by the colours of the rainbow. Each gallery space highlights historic and contemporary artistic contributions from 2SLGBTQ+ Canadian artists across cultures, identities, and disciplines.
Guests are invited to freely explore the galleries, engaging with live performances, interactive art, educational demonstrations, and participatory experiences that celebrate intersectional identities and foster intercultural understanding.
