PRIDE IN EQUITY
A Multicultural Celebration of 2SLGBTQ+ Communities
June 19, 2026 | ART GALLERY OF BURLINGTON
Pride in Equity transforms the Art Gallery of Burlington into a fully immersive, multi-room experience inspired by the colours of the rainbow. Each gallery space highlights historic and contemporary artistic contributions from 2SLGBTQ+ Canadian artists across cultures, identities, and disciplines.
