This event is FREE and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. ARTicipation Studio & Gallery and Avenue Art & Co. on 3rd are honored to be this year's What’s My Pride? exhibition sponsor.
You are invited to view and enjoy a series of new photographs depicting members of our local community and their messages of what Pride means to them. Exhibit attendees will have the opportunity to engage with the project by writing their own What’s My Pride? messages using the chalkboards provided and the on-site photo booth.
The photo booth will be open to the public at ARTicipation Studio & Gallery Wednesdays through Sundays in June 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. It will move to the grounds of the 10th Annual Open Door Pride Festival on Saturday,June 27, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m in the Festival Arts tent Martin Park, 207 S.

New to the exhibition this year are 10 creative skateboard deck designs created by Sturgeon Bay High School student artists, which were created under the guidance of art teacher Nicole Herbst and made possible by a generous donation from the Sturgeon Bay Art Club. All skateboard decks will be featured in a silent auction at Pride Fest on June 27th at Martin Park, with proceeds to benefit Open Door Pride. Auction winners will be announced at the 10th Annual Open Door Pride Festival, on Saturday, June 27, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. at Martin Park, 207 S. Third Avenue, Sturgeon Bay.
