Conversations on Pride

May 28, 2026 - June 20, 2026

Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts, St. Croix, US Virgin Islands

CMCArts is pleased to be collaborating with Sonia Nahar Deane of the Cane Roots Art Gallery. This community collaboration is rooted in celebrating the right for our LGBTQ+ family and friends to be themselves and to live their lives as they choose.

For many years, CMCArts has been a proud ally and collaborator with the June PRIDE events and the STX Pride organization as well as hosting annual Pride exhibitions. The Pride exhibition opens the Dialogues on Freedom Series showcasing artists from the VI LGBTQ+ community, Puerto Rico and Cuba. We are honored to support everyone in their creative endeavors. Our work is rooted in freedom of expression empowering the voices of our entire community.
