ANNIVERSARY GALA

Celebrating ImageOut’s 30th Anniversary

ImageOut’s Pearl Jubilee: 30th Anniversary Celebration was a charity gala held at The Century Club of Rochester to commemorate our milestone year; celebrate LGBTQ+ arts and culture in our community; and fundraise for ImageOutArt (visual arts), ImageOutWrite (literary journal), ImageOutReach (financial need) programs and the newly announced Michael Gamilla Fund to support film festival underwriting. The event program included a silent auction, donation paddle call, recognition awards ceremony, live entertainment from DJ Brian Buttlett of JuiceBoxROC and drag queen Vanessa LeRoux, and more. Honorees included Michael Gamilla (ImageOut Lifetime Achievement Award), Chris McCormack (ImageOut StandOut Award) and Dory Braun (ImageOut Volunteer of the Year).
