About
Help Us Build Artists Village
At OC Pride, we believe LGBTQIA+ artists and makers deserve spaces where their creativity and stories can be celebrated and their small businesses supported. That is why we are raising funds to create Artists' Village at the 2026 OC Pride Festival in Downtown Santa Ana.
What makes Artists' Village special is the community it uplifts. Artists' Village is intentionally designed to showcase LGBTQIA+ makers, craftspeople, illustrators, designers, and creatives in a space created specifically for them. More than a vendor area, it is a place where artists can share their work and connect with new audiences.
While artist vendor fees help support part of the space, OC Pride intentionally keeps participation costs affordable. We deeply discount booth fees and provide tables and chairs at no additional cost, removing barriers that might otherwise prevent emerging LGBTQIA+ artists from participating.
Your donation helps fund the infrastructure, materials, and support that make Artists' Village possible. Every dollar raised helps us continue creating an environment where LGBTQIA+ artists can showcase their talents and where festival attendees can directly support queer creativity and small businesses.
For many artists, opportunities to sell and share their work in spaces centered on LGBTQIA+ community are limited. Your support helps ensure that at OC Pride 2026, Artists' Village remains a vibrant home for creativity, visibility, and connection.
About the event
