- Button Making with Queer Creatives Space Arts Programming
- Our third Queer Creatives Space program will be this Sunday from 5-7pm. We have changed the time from our regular 1-3pm spot in order to not conflict with the scheduled Pride parade. This event is intended for people under the broad umbrellas of queer and trans (questioning people are welcome).
- Masks are required to participate in this programming, but can be provided on site. The programming will be taking place at 2482 Maynard Street Halifax in Wonder’neath’s Project Room (access note’s link in @queercreativesspace bio). This programming is free to attend, for all ages, and is a sober event. No pre-registration is required.
- Snacks will be provided as well as supplies to participate in the project for this session, being button making. Button makers are always great to have on hand during Pride month. You can make yourself a personalized pronoun or Pride pin, or play with illustration and collage to create a unique design.
- As alway, folks are welcome to work on personal projects, so long as they can bring their own materials/ the project isn’t sensory heavy and/or space demanding.
- This event will likely be a lot more low key and sensory sensitive than other Pride events happening during the evening. If you’re looking for creative, relaxed, and sober space to share with other queer and trans folks after the parade/ during Pride, this may just be your jam.
