“My dream for the future is equality. Not only passing laws but changing people’s hearts and minds.” – Anonymous, 18 years old.

How do we make a difference? By taking steps to visibly support LGBTQ+ youth and their rights. Allies play a critical role in creating a better future. Thirty-seven artists have taken a stand in the Future Dreams Art Exhibit hosted by PFLAG Rockland.

Each artist in the exhibit was given a statement about the future from an LGBTQ+ youth to ignite their artistic inspiration. All artwork is original and created for this special exhibit.

PFLAG Rockland is a New York non-profit organization that supports, educates, and advocates for the LGBTQ+ community, their families and allies. PFLAG’s vision is for an equitable, inclusive world where every LGBTQ+ person is safe, celebrated, empowered, and loved.

“My dream for the future is that no one should ever have to choose between a career they love and living a life with authenticity and integrity.” – Anonymous, 21 years old.
