Join Reading Pride and WCR Center for the Arts for our Annual Art Show, celebrating the creativity, talent, and diverse voices of LGBTQ+ artists and allies throughout Berks County and beyond.

As Reading Pride celebrates 20 years of building community, we're proud to continue this annual tradition that showcases the power of art to inspire, connect, and tell our stories.

Artwork will be exhibited throughout September and October at WCR Center for the Arts, with an opening date to be announced soon. The exhibition will feature a variety of artistic mediums, including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, mixed media, and more.

The exhibition culminates with our Gallery Reception on Saturday, October 10, from 6:00–10:00 PM. Guests will enjoy an evening of art, community, and live performance, featuring spoken word, poetry, music, dance, theater, and other performance art presented by local artists.

Admission is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be available, along with a cash cocktail bar, with proceeds helping support Reading Pride's year-round programs. Donations are always appreciated.

Some artwork will be available for purchase, giving visitors the opportunity to support local artists while adding an original piece to their collection.
