Community Event
Portraits of Pride
Marshall, MN
June 14
Portraits of Pride is a welcoming, artist-led community portrait experience inviting participants to slow down, observe themselves, and create a self-portrait in a relaxed outdoor setting. Using mirrors, drawing materials, and guided encouragement, participants are invited to explore creative self-expression through drawing, no experience necessary.
The project is designed to create a thoughtful, low-pressure art activity focused on identity, reflection, and creativity in a comfortable community environment. Participants will have the opportunity to take their artwork home, and optional photos may be taken to document the collaborative experience.
Hosted June 14 at the Lyon County Fairgrounds.
