What Has Changed<br />
Orlando Public Library<br />
Thursday, June 15, 6-7:45 p.m.<br />
In September 2016, the Orange County Library System partnered<br />
with local art-supply store Sam Flax for Paint Strong Orlando, an art<br />
show consisting of nearly 300 works of art made in response to the<br />
shooting at Pulse nightclub. All of the art supplies were donated, and<br />
the artists were asked to create work that reflected the strength of the<br />
community.<br />
One year after the Pulse tragedy, the Library is working with Sam<br />
Flax again, this time to present a new show to commemorate Pulse.<br />
Sam Flax has donated the supplies again and this time asks artists to<br />
consider this question: What Has Changed? The show addresses the<br />
impact artists feel the Pulse shooting has had on our community.<br />
On June 15, the Orlando Public Library hosts a reception for the<br />
show, which will include information from various local LGBT nonprofit<br />
organizations. The Orlando Gay Chorus will perform, followed by Latin<br />
guitar/percussionists Antone Affronti and Adalberto Bravo. Participants<br />
will be invited to make short videos of themselves discussing what<br />
they think has changed in our community over the past year.<br />
