We're thrilled to bring back LGBTQ+ Icons Night for this year's Pride celebration at the MAC First Friday! The response to last year’s event was overwhelmingly positive, and we’re excited to continue the tradition. Once again, we’ll be highlighting the work of LGBTQ+ artists and creators, as well as artists whose work has had a meaningful impact on LGBTQ+ culture.

Too often, LGBTQ+ individuals are overlooked or unrecognized for their contributions to art, music, science, history, and beyond. At a time when more states are banning even the mention of LGBTQ+ people in schools, it’s more important than ever to celebrate these voices and make sure their stories are told. Representation matters—and events like this help remind our community that LGBTQ+ people have always been here, making a difference.

That’s why we’re so proud and excited to host this event again—to celebrate creativity, visibility, and the incredible contributions of LGBTQ+ people past and present.
