An artist wearing glasses, a beaded necklace, and a black shirt with a pink geometric design stands smiling beside a display of framed artwork. The pieces feature bold, graphic illustrations of birds and butterflies in black, white, and red tones.

People dance and mingle inside a cozy indoor venue with wood floors, string lights, and a small stage area. Colorful disco lights scatter across the room as a group moves together near the center. Tables, couches, and jackets are scattered around, with drinks set on a low coffee table in the foreground. A few people stand off to the side chatting, while others enjoy the lively atmosphere. Two ceramic sculptures sit on white display pedestals in a gallery. One is a detailed, glossy German shepherd with textured fur and upright ears, and the other is a purple dragon with shiny wings, curled tail, and golden horns. People browse the gallery space in the background. Two motorcyclists sit on their bikes at a street event decorated with rainbow Pride flags and colorful ribbons. Both riders wear sunglasses and casual riding gear, and they smile as they pose on their chrome-trimmed motorcycles. A classic car with Pride decorations and an event booth are visible in the background under sunny skies. Six women stand barefoot onstage holding hands in a line, wearing loose, sleeveless jumpsuits in different colors. They face the audience under warm stage lights, with deep purple curtains behind them, appearing to take a bow after a performance.
