LOCAL LGBTQ ARTIST COLLABORATIVE
WORDS OF PRIDE
Words of Pride 2025, created in collaboration with San Diego Mayor's GLBTQ Historic Task Force honoring Hillcrest's recent designation as the official LGBTQ Cultural District, brings together the work of local LGBTQ+ artists.
Shout out to Nicole Murray Ramirez for encouraging me to take on this project, Big Mike Phillips for being supportive as the project developed and Danne Sadler for being the creative sounding board & executioner of the final stage of the project.
