The Santa Fe LGBTQIA+ community gathered Sept. 15-17 to celebrate Pride on the Santa Fe University of Art and Design campus and throughout town.

SFUAD will host numerous Santa Fe Pride 2017 events on campus.

On April 23, Santa Fe University of Art and Design’s Quad was decked out in rainbows, pinks, purples and blues. Pride flags swung wildly as students, faculty, staff and members of the local community gathered to celebrate the LGBT community with a commemoratory drag show.

Despite a rocky start due to equipment malfunction and bad weather, Pride Week was a big success. From Thursday April 16 to Sunday April 19, the campus was buzzing with Pride related activity.

Pride Week kicks off today with an open mic this evening, April 16, in the Forum at 7 p.m. In addition to the open mic, students will be performing skits, plays and poetry. The Screen will also be showing “The Birdcage” tonight at 10 p.m with free pizza. Sponsored by COLORS, Pride week will continue with events happening each day, ending Sunday, April 19.
