"As an artist who works in all media, I am excited to participate in Affirmations All media Pride Exhibition" says Karianne Spens-Hanna, a local artist and recent College for Creative Studies graduate. "This is a great opportunity for artists to showcase their work supporting the LGBTQ community and be a catalyst for dialogue."
