We are incredibly excited to announce the addition of the Progress Pride flag crosswalk to our studio lot! The Progress flag provides an opportunity to recognize the unique intersections of identity that exist within LGBTQ2S+ communities. This updated version of the Pride flag was designed by Daniel Quasar in 2018 to visually represent individual identities and how they intersect with one another, recognizing the interconnected struggles.

We look forward to the positive impact this permanent addition will have on our studio.
