Common Threads is a celebratory installation of LGBTQ+ Pride co-created by community groups and queer artists around the Puget Sound region. Visitors are invited to experience perspectives of belonging shared by local LGBTQ+ youth and elders, and to reflect on what it means to feel “at home” in a family, community, or museum gallery.

Stay tuned for additional details and ways to get involved.
