What we’re about
We’re a social networking group focused on arts and culture exploration for Atlanta’s LGBTQIA+ community. We meet once or twice a month for art exhibits, concerts, and event social events - usually evenings and weekends.
In the past year, the group has held arts-focused events at the High Museum, the Fernbank, The Warehouse, Steffen Thomas Museum, Candlelight concerts, Sunday brunch at Barcelona restaurant, and more. We value suggestions from our members regarding events and places of interest.
We are a diverse group - demographically and in specific cultural interests. Join us for lively, thoughtful conversation with other upbeat LGBTQIA+ residents and make new friends in the process.
See you soon at an upcoming event.
