Celebrate Pride and commemorate the Stonewall Uprising by creating your own chosen family tree! For LGBTQ people, found families are bonded by an unwavering love, and are supported by each other so they can be their full selves. Celebrate this kind of love by inviting your own chosen family to co-create tree sculptures holding photographs or drawings.
