Happy Valley Pride is excited to exhibit an installation from 23-year-old, non-binary, painter and illustrator Ashton Attzs.
Event Information
The theme ‘And THEY Lived Happily Ever After’ is represented via Ashton’s utopian vision and was originally commissioned by Trans Vegas Festival and displayed in the Feel Good Club windows in Manchester’s Northern Quarter in 2022. Ashton’s work is colourful, bold, joyful and unapologetic. Ashton covers topics including LGBTQ+ advocacy, visibility, unity, positivity, music and mental health.
We’re also proud to display artwork created by children taking part in this year’s Youth Engagement Programme.
Education has been at the core of our mission since our inception, and Happy Valley Pride makes it a priority to educate the next generations with lessons of love and equality.
This year, we have worked with 12 schools in Calderdale to help students learn more about the LGBTQIA+ community, anti-bullying and the diversity of families in our area. Our work has been recognised by Stonewall who chose us as one of the Prides to visit in 2019.
The Happy Valley Pride Youth Engagement Programme is led by Terry Logan and plays a leading role in the provision of quality creative learning for young people around LGBTQIA+ life through education and art.
