🏆 CELEBRATING COMMUNITY LEADERS

The Tim O. Mains Award recognizes someone whose leadership, service, and advocacy have made a meaningful difference in Rochester’s LGBTQIA+ community.

Named for Tim O. Mains and his legacy of public service, this award celebrates the people who help make our community more visible, welcoming, and vibrant. 🌈

Last year, we were honored to recognize Diane Chevron for all she’s done for our community. Now, it’s time to meet this year’s recipient sponsored by Richard Sarkis

We were proud to have Rochester Q***r Arts Festival represented in Albany at Governor Kathy Hochul’s LGBT Convening! 🏳️‍🌈

Our co-producer, Tim Evanicki, led a 90-minute workshop, “Beyond Pride Month: Q***r Arts Festivals as Cultural, Economic, and Community Infrastructure in New York State,” sharing how year-round q***r arts festivals can support LGBTQ+ artists, strengthen communities, and drive cultural tourism.

We’re excited to keep building connections across New York and advocating for greater investment in q***r artists, festivals, and cultural organizations statewide. ❤️
