Welcome to Pride In Art online.

The Pride In Art Society is Vancouver's home for the creative bisexuals, gay men, intersexed, lesbians, pansexuals, transgendered, transexuals, third-gendered, two-spirited, queer and questioning in British Columbia.

Every summer, PiA produces the Queer Arts Festival in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Volunteer Appreciation Night and AGM
Big thanks to our volunteers and community partners, including Terry Costa & Mirateca Arts, Out On Screen, Vancouver Pride Society, Screaming Weenie, Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre, Xtra West, Westender, Tom Lee Music, and the Powell Street Festival for being a part of our most successful festival yet.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Pride in Art Society, a not for profit organization, is to promote the production and exhibition of queer art. The Pride in Art Society creates opportunities for dialogue between queer artists from different disciplines, encourages visibility and appreciation of queer art and artists through the presentation of events, including the Queer Arts Festival (formerly Pride in Art Festival).

The Pride in Art Society fosters inclusion, equality and a strong political voice for the local queer community, including the historical contributions of queer artists. We combat homophobia by building greater public awareness and acceptance of individuals and groups outside sexual and gender norms.
