For Trans Week of Visibility, we are collaborating with @grtransfoundation to host a virtual Trans Art Showcase, highlighting Trans artists in West Michigan! Please follow the virtual "gallery" space on Instagram @transing_art. We'll post new daily art from March 28 - April ‍3

CALL FOR TRANS ARTISTS: Are you a Trans artist living in West Michigan? Would you like your art highlighted in our show? We can credit you or keep your work anonymous.

Any interested artists should email the following things to <executivedirector@grtransfoundation.org>:
- Name and pronouns.
- How you'd like your name displayed (first name, full name, alias, or anonymous).
- Your Instagram handle, if you'd like to be directly tagged. (e.g. @trans_artist)
- Up to 3 pieces of original artwork
- OPTIONAL: A short bio / artist statement

Image Description: A blue, pink, and purple swirled poster. In the center of the poster is a person's face staring serenely forward with reddish brown eyes, resting their head in their hands. Both face and hands are covered in a smattering of colorful paint: blues and yellows and pinks and purples and greens. Framing this face is the text 'Visible: A Trans Art Showcase! March 18 to April 3. Open call for Trans, Nonbinary, and Gender Nonconforming Artists in West Michigan.' In bold white across the person's forehead is the Instagram tag @transing_art"

We were greeted with a surprise message yesterday morning, and we want to say we respect your opinion, and we also agree wholeheartedly with "queer liberation, not assimilation!"

This message came at the right time as we have been planning to hold community listening sessions this year. Our goal is to gather feedback, concerns, and your visions for the future of the center. We want to hear from ALL of you, especially those in our community who we recognize have been erased, neglected, and/or ignored by the Grand Rapids Pride Center's work in the past and may still feel they are not welcome now despite efforts we think we have made to address that so far. We are well aware of the painful and harmful history of GRPC and are committing to changing it in the present and future, but it is ongoing work to do so. These listening sessions are just one strategy of many we have been and will continue to employ to improve our services and to incorporate what you’d like to see from the center in the next few years. And yes, there will be incentives for your participation in the listening sessions!

We exist to build solidarity with the community around us and we hope to continue this venture with your help.

If you'd like to have a conversation about ways we can improve our existing services, gaps in services or things we are not providing that you think we should be, or other areas of concern you have, please reach out to Jazz, our Executive Director at jazz.mckinney@grpride.org.

Image: An exterior photo of the Grand Rapids Pride Center, seen from the Atlas Ave side. Photo shows a golden-colored brick building with three large windows. The center window has vinyl that prominently displays "Grand Rapids PRIDE Center" and below this window is red spray paint on the bricks that says "Queer liberation not assimilation!" followed by a red heart shape.
