Santa Gay

Despite its name and status as the unofficial kick-off party for PrideFest, Gay on Santa Fay isn’t really that gay. Rodney Wallace of 4 Art Studios, one of the founders and organizers of the event, says it’s about celebrating diversity and about the arts community giving back to the gay community for its strong support. “We tackled this last year going in: It’s not gay art. It’s art. It’s about celebrating diversity,” Wallace explains.
