2025 commemorates the 50th anniversary of Washington, D.C.’s iconic Pride celebrations, but the essence of pride is woven into the tapestry of history. This year's theme is the Fabric of Freedom, signifying how, while no single thread or pattern defines the community, bringing them together celebrates uniqueness while embodying strength, creative expression, and freedom. Celebrate With Color We commissioned @Estheryu to create line art for you to color and celebrate the Fabric of Freedom in whatever hues your heart desires. Submit your finished work of art to your gallery or display your coloring page as a cover image on your profile!  "The design theme of the art revolves around the structure of freedom (wings), the Fabric of Freedom, and most importantly Love yourself." - @Estheryu Sew a Badge onto the Fabric of Freedom For the month of Pride, when you see deviations or comments that are inclusive, supportive, or celebrate strength, award them with the Fabric of Freedom

YCH (Your Character Here) artists don't just create art; they ignite your imagination with boundless possibilities.

Welcome to this monthly feature where we spotlight the exceptional talents of YCH artists and their inspired creations.
