The Basement On Byers

06/02/2022

The Basement is proudly a q***r-owned business, but our beautiful city of Staunton is home to multiple businesses owned, operated, and managed by members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

If you are going to buy Pride merchandise this month, please buy it from q***r creators and businesses. If you need a letter template for writing to large corporations that are suddenly rainbow themed that asks them what they are doing year-round to fight for the rights of LGBTQIA+ people, please message us. We have one ready to go.

There are going to be so many amazing local artists with work available this weekend at Art on the Town! Come out to Sunspots Pavilion and see more local artists.

We’re almost finished with our upgrades, but will have our children’s art activity available for pick up like always!

I’m gradually pulling everything together for the festival this weekend. Here’s hoping I’m bringing a lot less stuff home than I’m taking with me. 🤞🤞🤞

Come buy art!
