Join us at the Zimmerli for an evening to celebrate LGBTQIA+ Pride at Rutgers University and in the New Brunswick community, as we showcase the queer art of drag as well as important contributions of queer artists who participated in Windows of Understanding. Light refreshments will be served.

  • Experience drag performances curated by New Brunswick’s own La Gatita Collective
  • Engage in a hands-on artmaking workshop
  • Join pop-up tours highlighting queer artists
  • Capture the magic of the night in an artful photo booth and take home prints to remember the night

Thank you, to all our campus and community partners in presenting this event!
