The Dayton Society of Artists is presenting PRIDE2022, an exhibit showcasing the work of LGBTQA+ artists and their allies.

The exhibit opens Wednesday and continues through July 5 at the Dayton Metro Library, 215 E. 3rd St. PRIDE2022 is on the second floor, south side of the building and can be viewed during the library’s regular operating hours.

The exhibit focuses on 2D works of various mediums by LBGTQA+ artists and their allies.

“It is our hope that this show will encourage viewers to listen to the visual stories given by the artists identifying as LGBTQIA+ and the allies that support them,” according to a news release from DSA.
