What an amazing turnout we had at our Broadway Inspirational Voices Paint & Sip last Friday! It is always wonderful having BIV host another event with us, especially as we kick off our Pride Month celebrations.

Our members had a fantastic time dancing, painting, sharing a meal, and being in community with one another. As always, did an outstanding job facilitating the event.

A special thank-you goes to Canvas Cultures LLC for leading the Paint & Sip and providing our members with such a wonderful experience.

If you are interested in joining us for our next event, please reach out to our Program Coordinator, Melissa Parke, [email protected] for more information.

This Monday, we celebrated our final Art with Members continued working on their pieces and had the opportunity to frame their completed artwork at the end of the class.

Throughout the eight-week workshop, participants explored a variety of creative mediums, developed new artistic skills, and created pieces that reflected their unique perspectives and artistic expression.

We are incredibly grateful to and for their dedication and support throughout the 8-weeks!

They paved the way; now it’s our turn to support them.

For decades, LGBTQ+ elders of color have been at the forefront of the fight for equality. Today, on GiveOut Day, you can honor their legacy by making a gift to GRIOT Circle.

GRIOT Circle provides a vital lifeline, a safe space, and a chosen family for LGBTQ+ elders of color. Your contribution today directly supports essential programming that combats isolation, fosters connection, and provides critical resources to those who need it most.

Let’s ensure our elders age with dignity, joy, and community. Make your GiveOut Day gift to GRIOT Circle today!
