About

The aim of this concert is to celebrate pride with Brock students and Niagara community members, while also remembering the Black & Indigenous queer history of Pride and the continued importance of anti-racism work in the 2SLGBTQ+ movement, especially now more than ever.

Featuring numerous Black & Indigenous queer musicians, poets, and artists from the local St. Catharines/Niagara community and wider Ontario area, this concert seeks to put a spotlight on Black and Indigenous queer performers while also raising funds for various social organizations and anti-racism causes through raffle ticket sales.

Organizer

FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre

Each Year the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre hosts Culture days Activities.

The FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre is a large purpose-built cultural complex located in downtown St. Catharines, Ontario. It opened in 2015 as the result of a partnership between the City of St. Catharines and Brock University, which share the venue for production, performance and learning purposes. It comprises four separate venues: a 770-seat concert hall (Partridge Hall), 300-seat recital hall, 210-seat multi-purpose dance/theatre venue (Robertson Theatre), and the 199-seat Film House.

The creation of the centre spurred a cultural and economic renaissance in downtown St. Catharines along with its neighbouring Meridian Centre and Brock University's Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts.
