MAYHEM & MASCARA WAS A SMASH!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first ever drag show -- hosted at Judith B Salon in May 2025, and starring some of the best performers in the Chicago area!

Shout out to Phase Three Brewing and DJ Ryan Gorey for helping us create a fantastic night!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM ART & GRATITUDE_

Thank you to Rae Senarighi for an amazing weekend of creativity, compassion, and community! And thank you to all who attended with open hearts and minds, who listened, learned, created, and showed great compassion and love toward themselves.

Art & Gratitude was made possible thanks to a generous grant from DuPage Foundation -- JCS Arts, Health & Education Fund. And thanks to longtime EPC community partners at Michael Symber Studios and the Elmhurst Art Museum.
