–Art Installation: An art installation in front of Palm Springs City Hall will be held over Pride weekend. Community members are invited to participate in this reimagined rally and make placards, signs of hope, message posters or statements of conviction, determination or protest that will be used in a socially-distanced arts and culture experience. Since there are no in-person events or large gatherings, this art project will call attention to and raise awareness of issues important to the community. Working with the Palm Springs Art Commission, the themed signs made by community members will be creatively displayed on the City Hall lawn creating a community message of Pride in Palm Springs.
–Pride Photography: Pride will be celebrated through photography with Palm Springs photographer Ron Williams, who is publishing a 200-page photo-book of Greater Palm Springs Pride parades going back to 2008.
