by | Oct 21, 2021 | COMMUNITY

Before the official run (which will cost $10/ticket, $5/student), GayRVA is having an opening reception of Say Love at Gallery 5 this First Friday at 7PM!

What is Say Love?
Say Love is a project that celebrates the triumphs and struggles of the LGBT community. This month-long event, exhibition and public-arts project is about inclusion and showcases regional and nationally known visual and performing artists. This event partners with community organizations, non-profits and businesses to bring awareness to our under-represented GLBT community. This event is intended to not only express ourselves through art, but to inform all demographics across the board of the passions, struggles and triumphs we face.
