First Friday: PRIDE
October is PRIDE month in Honolulu and to celebrate, this month’s tour features LGBTQ+ businesses, artists, and performers in Chinatown—including a special appearance by Tita Titsling!
Our community partner this month is The ARTS at Marks Garage, featuring the ARTS of Pride exhibition—opening on October 6. An artist-run, non-profit community arts center, The ARTS at Marks Garage was instrumental in creating First Friday Honolulu in the early 2000s and has been operating in Downtown/Chinatown, hosting exhibitions, performances, and workshops since 2001. Fun Fact: “ARTS” is an acronym for Art Retail Theatre Space.
