RISING COLOURS: A Mississauga Queer Arts Showcase

Join us for a summer evening of celebrating Mississauga’s 2SLGBTQ+ community, including a special feature from Sydney Nicholson!
About this Event

Enjoy a variety of stage performances and browse through vendor displays, all made by local queer artists! Free refreshments are provided.
Huge thanks to the Mississauga Arts Council, RAMA Gaming House, and the Charitable Gaming Foundation for their generous sponsorship through the Matchmaker Microgrant Program, and the Affirming Hearts in Action Committee from Christ First United Church for providing their beautiful venue and hospitality.

Location: Christ First United Church Auditorium, 1700 Mazo Cres.

Time: Doors + Vendors 6:30PM, Performances 7PM

Please note: As an Affirmed United Church, Christ First United has made many public statements regarding their dedication to celebrating and uplifting the 2SLGBTQ+ community. RISING COLOURS has ensured that the event will be completely secular with no religious imagery present in the event space. We would like this information to be upfront to potential participants, as both the committee and event leaders are aware of the painful history between queer people and the Church.
