Arts and Crafts day
An afternoon where queer artists and friends can work on their own projects, meet other like-minded queer folks, and hang out in our Pride Hub space. Bring your own materials, or use the paint and canvases provided to create something new. Admission is totally free and attendees are welcome to pop in and out of the venue throughout the afternoon. In order to maintain safety and respect the space, please do not bring art materials that are potentially harmful, such as knives/other sharp objects, toxic or strong-scented chemicals, or spray paints/other pressurised cans of paint. Come meet and hang out with other queer artists, or just pop in to say hello – we're super excited to host this space for the Dunedin community and look forward to seeing all the projects locals are working on this year.

Leaders Panels
Enabling thoughtful discussion on a range of relevant issues, from a wide range of queer perspectives/backgrounds; for the Ōtepoti rainbow community to hear from people they may look up to around the country and ask them questions.

Preliminary list includes Dr Elizabeth Kerekere, Deputy Mayor Rohan O’Neill-Stevens, Sol Parr, Kayli Taylor, Professor Chris Brickell, Dr Sally Shaw, Hon. Grant Robertson, Kahurangi Carter MP.
