Stay Gold is an art-making program designed to foster connections across generations (ages thirteen to ninety-nine) within the LGBTQIA+ community. Discover how creating connections through collaboration can strengthen our understandings of one another while cultivating empathy and gratitude. This session will highlight not only how this program impacted participants and became a transformational experience for facilitators.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the ways in which your identity intersects with others in the museum space.
• Identify gaps or disconnects within the LGBTQIA+ community, and critique both personal and institutional relationships based on your own experience.
• Connect how art-making can reflect and inform your personal experience of self, community, and exhibitions.
