Pansy Craze
March 27, 2026
In reference to the increase of LGBTQIA+ visibility, we see in our current day in age a fierce revolutionary wave of trans people who rebuke the current social climate, creating discussion about freedom to be and expression of self. The Pansy Craze exhibition highlights the individuality of each artist through whimsy storytelling that creates disarming conversations of grief, what could have been, and eccentric experiences that shaped the artists to their core. With surrealist concepts and abstracted views, we display images of love, melancholy, and pleasure that speak to the life of each trans artist.

Trans Stories & Storytelling Workshop
April 25, 2026
As trans and nonbinary people, telling our own stories can be both empowering and overwhelming. Join us to brainstorm your stories, do some writing, and practice sharing in a safe and friendly environment. We’ll also reflect on how story and storytelling tools can support your poetry, personal essays, nonfiction writing, playwriting, or other creative and artistic work.
Facilitated by Rebecca Kling. For more than twenty years, transgender artist and advocate Rebecca Kling has taught theatre and storytelling skills to others, worked as a professional storyteller, and toured her work to conferences and theatre festivals across the country.
