ABOUT THE PROJECT
Four Creative Workshops. One Massive Exhibition.
Just like a kaleidoscope, our community is made up of countless unique, distinct, and colourful pieces. On their own, they are beautiful. But when brought together, they create something spectacular.
For Pride Month 2026, Melton Rainbow Social is launching our most ambitious creative project yet. We are inviting you to help us build a massive art installation, piece by piece.
Whether you are an experienced artist or someone who has never picked up a paintbrush, there is a place for you in this project. Join us to Grow, Flow, Reveal, and Glow.
