First Friday Opening Reception
What is Say Love?
Say Love is a project that celebrates the triumphs and struggles of the LGBT community. This month-long event, exhibition and public-arts project is about inclusion and will showcase regional and nationally known visual and performing artists. This event will partner with numerous community organizations, non-profits and businesses to bring awareness to our under-represented GLBT community. This event is intended to not only express ourselves through art, but to inform all demographics across the board of the passions, struggles and triumphs we face.
Say Love is proudly brought to you by:

Photographs from the Love and Hate: Public Arts Campaign will be featured at this exhibition, with the ongoing project featured on GayRVA.com. Our audience will be able to participate in this project through available interactive video and photo booths. This all-inclusive concept installation is created to challenge our viewers about the misconceptions of our sexual minorities and help them gain a perspective on our human similarities.
The Say Love Production, featuring film, music, dance, spoken word and theater performances will take place on Friday and Saturday, January 29th and 30th at 8PM. Tickets will be $10 or $5 for students with a valid ID.
