The Elmhurst Art Museum is partnering with local non-profit Elmhurst Pride Collective to celebrate pride month. As part of the collective, the museum has pledged to provide a safe and welcoming place for all employees and customers, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, religion, or disability.

On Pride Month join the Collective and take their inclusion pledge.
