A White person with a shaved head smiles at the camera while outside. Queer teens in St. Louis can chill and create in a silly way with this local artist at a Proud Art event in June 2026.

Come ready to make weird and silly self-portraits with Caitlin Metz! They will show you how to use portraiture to understand yourself, but like in a fun way. We’ll also make s’mores + have a chill time! All materials will be provided.
