Art Exhibit Celebrates LGBT Pride Month in Fairfax County

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - April 8, 2013 - PRLog -- The artists of Studio 4, Old Town in Alexandria, VA are creating a topical show of 2D and 3D artworks reflecting on the themes of pride and equality. Artist and show organizer John Gascot says, “It’s exciting to be a part of change in motion. My partner and I have been together for over 15 years. We have 2 dogs and keep house just like any typical married couple. There is nothing indecent about that. Our partnership deserves the same protections under the law as anyone else’s.”

The artists of Studio 4, Old Town believe that art is a vehicle for social change and are devoted to making our community a better place. They have committed to donating a portion of all proceeds raised via art sales to Fairfax Pride. An extraordinary evening that includes live entertainment is in the works for the exhibit’s mid-month “Pride Party” reception, taking place on Saturday, June 15, from 6 until 9 pm at Studio 4, Old Town. It is free and open to the public.

The exhibition will be on display for the entire month of June at Studio 4, Old Town, 218 North Lee Street, Suite 101, Alexandria, VA, 22314. Gallery Hours: Wed-Sat 11:00am-7:00pm and Sun 12:00pm-5:00pm. For directions, please visit our event page:
