Our 2023 Lineup
Salmon Arm Pride Project 2022:
14 Events in 9 Days
With a free live concert, 2 drag shows and a jam packed schedule of arts based events, 2022 was our biggest in-person year yet!
Thanks to amazing partnerships and wonderful artists we were able to facilitate event based placemaking for the 2SLGBTQ+ community in Salmon Arm, B.C.
Arts and Inclusivity for All
Salmon Arm Pride Project is a collaborative venture with the goal of including the whole community in furthering LGBTQ2S+ awareness, visibility and acceptance, using the arts as a binding force. As a community within a community, we commit to providing a safe environment to conduct our work ethically and cooperatively, with a focus on research, education, equity, social justice and safety.
