Success Stories

The exhibit offered a vibrant journey through pivotal moments and groundbreaking figures in our community’s history. It gave people a chance to connect with stories of activism, organization, and change that shaped LGBTQ+ rights in our region, but are often left out of the larger narrative. For many of our guests, it was a powerful reminder of the struggles and triumphs that paved the way for where we are today.

What really stood out to us was the way the exhibit made history feel accessible and engaging. The panels were full of fascinating insights, and seeing people stop to read, discuss, and reflect on the stories was truly special. It added a layer of depth and meaning to our festival.

We wholeheartedly believe that any event—whether it’s a pride festival, a community gathering, or an educational workshop—would be enhanced by partnering with Expanding Horizons.
