This June, Produce® Bar & Gallery and Joey Gonzalez proudly presents “Day Dreaming Ourselves Awake,” an LGBTQIA+ art exhibit that delves into the power of dreams as a catalyst for change and self-discovery. From June 2nd to the 30th, at 419 Peoples St, Corpus Christi, TX 78401, experience a diverse array of artistic expressions that explore queerness through the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious self. This exhibit is a powerful reminder of the transformative potential of dreams, as they offer marginalized communities the opportunity to reimagine their present and envision a more inclusive future.
