The next Find Your Pride presenter we’re spotlighting is Samantha Holt, a visual artist, photographer, and filmmaker. Samantha combines painting, sculpture, media arts, and wearable art to share her belief that the world can be a more colorful and positive place. Her session “Express Yourself with Zines, Collage, and Mixed Media” is a hands-on exploration of zine-making where participants have access to art supplies, collage materials, and dedicated time to craft the story they want to share with the world around them.

Find Your Pride is FREE for ages 13-22 and transportation is provided! Register today at cmcmn.org/pride
