Threads of Pride is a community art project and exhibition curated by local gay artist and designer Michael K Davenport, and selected by the City of Wichita’s Division of Arts & Cultural Services. Funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, this project celebrates LGBTQIA+ life and creativity across Kansas. In partnership with Harvester Arts and local LGBTQIA+ groups, Threads of Pride brings together artists, students, and community members to create large quilt-inspired art panels (3ft x 5ft). These powerful, personal pieces will be displayed throughout Wichita during Pride Month in June 2025 @harvesterarts . Get Involved: * View work by LGBTQIA+ artists from across Kansas * Join free art-making days with supplies, music, and food * Enjoy family-friendly drag performances and community events * Buy or bid on quilt panels; proceeds support local LGBTQIA+ organizations * Help preserve the legacy as select panels are repurposed into lasting artworks This project is about connection, creativity, and pride. Whether you’re an artist, ally, or advocate, Threads of Pride invites you to take part. taken in Harvester Arts by @threads.of.pride

🎨 Meet the Artists Behind Threads of Pride🌈 We’re so excited to introduce the incredible LGBTQIA+ artists featured in Threads of Pride Art Exhibition! Each artist brings a powerful and personal voice to the show, reflecting the resilience, creativity, and lived experiences of queer life in Kansas. From painting and photography to ceramics, sculpture, textiles, mixed media, and immersive installations—these works explore identity, community, joy, struggle, and love in all their complexity. Their art will be on view alongside a community quilt project created by Kansas students, local groups, and allies—a visual celebration of LGBTQIA+ stories across generations. This is more than an exhibition—it’s a platform for connection, storytelling, and collective pride. ✨ We’ll begin sharing their individual pieces and stories after our First Friday Opening next week. Stay tuned! 🗓 Opening Night: June 6 @firstfridayict | Pride Weekend Celebration/Closing: June 28 📍 @harvesterarts at The Lux | Wichita, KS \#ThreadsOfPride #LGBTQIAArt #WichitaArtists #QueerCreatives #PrideMonth #CommunityArt #KansasPride #CeramicArt #SculptureExhibition #TextileArt #QueerInstallationArt taken in Harvester Arts by @threads.of.pride

✨ Threads of Pride Art Panels ✨ We are still in awe of the incredible diversity, talent, and heart poured into every single art panel created for Threads of Pride. Each piece told a story—of identity, resilience, love, and community. From bold colors to quiet reflections, these panels became more than just fabric and paint—they became powerful declarations of presence and pride. To everyone who contributed: thank you for showing up, expressing yourself, and building something truly beautiful together. If you created a panel and would like to have it back, please reach out to us—we’d be happy to reunite you with your work. Remaining panels will either be sold or donated, with all proceeds going toward services and support for local LGBTQIA+ youth. Your creativity continues to make a difference. 💖 📸@amandabethnocap #ThreadsOfPride #QueerArtMatters #LGBTQIAYouth #CommunityPower #ArtForChange taken in Harvester Arts by @threads.of.pride

✨THREADS OF PRIDE was a HIT!✨ What an unforgettable journey. Our culminating event this weekend was incredible—a vibrant celebration of art, identity, and community. Thank you to every single person who showed up, created, performed, danced, cried, shared, supported, and celebrated with us. From the very first community art day to the final drag performance, this project has been full of color, courage, and connection. Whether you painted a canvas, shared a story, volunteered your time, performed on stage, or simply showed up with your full self—you helped make this vision a reality. Special thanks to our artists, performers, vendors, collaborators, Harvester Arts, and our incredible LGBTQIA+ community in Wichita. You brought your magic, and it showed. This project was made possible through the support of the City of Wichita’s Division of Arts and Cultural Services and the National Endowment for the Arts. But its heart? That came from you. 🧵 This isn’t the end. It’s just the start of what we’re weaving together. #ThreadsOfPride #ThankYouWichita #QueerJoy #CommunityArt #LGBTQIA #ArtMatters #WichitaPride #Gratitude taken in Harvester Arts by @threads.of.pride
