All Ages Artmaking: Whitney Community Pride Mural

Sun Jun 14 · 11am · Free

What does Pride mean to you? Visitors of all ages are invited to get creative and contribute to the Whitney Community Pride Mural. Add your own drawings, messages, and designs throughout the day as the mural grows into a collective celebration of Pride, creativity, and community.The month of June is also known as Pride Month, which centers the LGBTQ+ community and its history. Pride first started as a political march in 1970 one year after the Stonewall Riots. During these riots, the LGBTQ+ community fought back and protested against police who raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York City (a mere fifteen-minute walk from the Whitney). Pride now takes place all over the world and creates space for the LGBTQ+ community to feel safe, welcomed, affirmed, and celebrated.

The Broadway sensation looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin, who is smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.” With a thrilling score that includes the hits “Defying Gravity,” “Popular” and “For Good,” WICKED has been hailed by The New York Times as “an undisputed juggernaut,” and by Time Magazine as “a magical Broadway musical with brains, heart, and courage.” NBC Nightly News calls the hit musical “the most successful Broadway show ever.” For more information about WICKED, visit the website here.Follow WICKED on Instagram: @wicked_musical, TikTok: @wicked_musical, and Facebook.
