SUMMARY:Right to Assemble: Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Right to Assemble: Opening Reception \nRight to Assemble is an LGBTQ+ soft sculpture and quilt exhibition exploring queer American identity during a moment of crisis. In collaboration with The Center on Addison\, we invite you to engage with quilts and flags\, connect with the Chicago LGBTQ+ community\, and envision the future of the nation together. \nEvent Details\nDate: Saturday\, June 6th\nTime: 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM\nLocation: The Center on Addison (Community Space)\nCost: Free admission\nEntry: Please enter on Addison Street \nAbout the Exhibition\nThe current political crisis is an irrevocable catalyst for forging new conceptions of national identity\, particularly amongst those whose increasing marginalization is used to sustain a growing autocratic force. \nRight to Assemble grounds this work in intergenerational LGBTQ+ aesthetics through an unpacking and evolving of the ever-changing Pride Flag. We aim to mobilize this exhibition as a method of dialogue\, using selected textile works to explore what it means to gather\, define ourselves\, and envision a new world. \nQuilts and flags\, both fabric assemblages\, symbolize the coming together of minds and bodies\, whether within a community or a nation. As you engage with the space\, we hope you will reflect with one another on your vision for the future of this country and the methods necessary to achieve it. \nFeatured Artists\nWhat Will Have Been Ours\nEve Emrich & Quilt Church\nWill Montgomery

SUMMARY:Woodstock Pride Field Day + Color Run
DESCRIPTION:This year we’re shaking things up and turning our traditional Color Run into a full-on morning of laughter\, teamwork\, friendly competition\, creativity\, and colorful chaos with the brand-new Woodstock Pride Field Day! \nGrab your crew of four or sign up solo and we’ll build a team for you — because sometimes the best part of Pride is meeting people who become your next best friends. \nTeams will battle it out through a series of hilarious and high-energy field day games designed for all skill levels. Expect silly challenges\, teamwork moments\, cheering sections\, and just enough competition to make victory sweet. Whether you come to win ribbons or just make memories\, this is all about community\, connection\, and having fun together. \nAfter completing all Field Day stations\, everyone comes back together for awards\, ribbons\, celebration photos\, and then the grand colorful finale — our Pride Color Run! Participants can choose to do one or two laps as clouds of color fill Emricson Park in the happiest finish line of the summer. \nNot feeling competitive? You can still sign up just for the Color Run. \nAnd for our artists and creative spirits\, we’re also introducing the Pride Chalk Walk! Reserve your own chalk art square along the park path and spend the morning turning the sidewalks into colorful Pride-inspired masterpieces. Chalk is included\, and prizes will be awarded for both Judge’s Choice and People’s Choice. \nCome play. Come create. Come get colorful.
