False lashes, contour and hairspray kicked off Spectrum’s Spring Week 2017.
On Saturday, Spectrum hosted Drag Show in Oz. It collected donations for On the Mark, For the City, a community beautification initiative by We’re Trying Collective. The project design is set to be revealed on May 4 at First Thursday.
Typically, the proceeds from Spectrum’s drag shows are donated to a national nonprofit, but after working with We’re Trying Collective and seeing the similarity between their mission statements, Spectrum president Mariann Fant saw an opportunity for a collaboration.
“I thought it would be really cool to have a local nonprofit,” Fant said. “I thought that it would be really cool and people would connect with that because it's local.”
Spectrum raised $1,822 for the mural project.
