“GAG: Avant Garde closing reception Saturday, June 27th from 12-4 pm at The Hub, 464 Byrne St. Petersburg

GAG or Gay Art Gallery, is an art experience that celebrates q***r artist of all backgrounds.

The theme Avant Garde serves as a call to action to be your fullest self. The works in this gallery spotlight unique points of view and expression, diving beyond the surface of what it means to identify as q***r while reclaiming the right to take up space and be seen as the norm, the standard.

A sliding scale event with tickets from $10-$20 featuring an artist talk, drag show, themed snacks and drinks for sale, and perfectly curated music to end off your pride month festivities!

GAG: Avant Garde, Saturday, June 27th from 12-4 pm at The Hub, 464 Byrne St. Petersburg!”
