This year's One City One Pride queer arts festival is bigger and better than ever. As part of our outreach, we've asked some of the artists to tell us a little bit more about themselves, how being LGBT / queer has affected their artwork, and what Pride means to them and how they think it can and should be celebrated.

If you are a member of the press, feel free to use any of the information for articles, and any of the embedded photos (as long as you give credit to the photographers). If you would like to reach out to the artist/artists for a more in depth interview, please email your request to mche@weho.org.
