The Shuswap District Arts Council is putting on the fourth annual Salmon Arm Pride Project Arts & Awareness Festival beginning Saturday, Oct. 14. The arts-based festival features events planned over nine days, with the aim of building communication between queer groups in the area and other community members, and raising overall understanding and visibility.

The Loud and Proud Celebration, a street concert on Hudson Avenue with food trucks and restaurant participation, is the kickoff. Musical guests Kimmortal, Our Name is Rich and Csetkwe will entertain crowds. The art gallery will stay open until 10 p.m. with a Pride Palace Pop-Up Shop inside and a DJ dance party happening from 8-10 p.m.

As the event unfolds, participants can partake in a bookish evening with an author reading, gnome-painting workshop, a film night, drag night out at Harpur Farm and the all-ages, family-friendly drag brunch, which brings drag stars Frieda Whales, Syren Call, Sophonda and Valerie Rose to Salmon Arm. The 2022/23 Youth Drag Workshop Emerging Drag Artists will also perform.

New this year are a zine-making workshop and something Kutschker is excited about, a 91裸聊视频榮titch-n-b*tch91裸聊视频 knit night.

Knitters, newbies and anyone even interested in the textile art are invited to join the crafty evening. As the Arts Centre is working on a collaborative upcoming project about environments fit for reading, knit night participants will help create pride-themed reading pods, comfortable spaces to sit with a book, out of knitting materials.

The knitting event aims to bring people together and foster a place where people feel they belong. Kutschker said knitters can bring their own projects or come empty-handed and ready to learn.
