Celebrating Pride Month at NextFab

Join us for our June Pride programming at NextFab! We’ll be hosting two workshops to dive into making, and ending it with a Queer Maker Mixer, open to the public. Whether you’re looking to learn more about making or meet other creatives, join us for a workshop, the mixer, or both!

20% of ticket sales will be donated to William Way Community Center, which seeks to engage and support the diverse LGBTQIA+ communities in the greater Philadelphia area through arts and culture, empowerment, and community connections.

Pride Month at NextFab is about more than just learning new skills; it’s about building community, celebrating identity, and discovering what’s possible when creativity and belonging intersect. We can’t wait to make, learn, and celebrate together.

While our Pride Month programming offers a special opportunity to celebrate and connect, NextFab’s commitment to being a welcoming space for LGBTQ+ makers extends throughout the year. Our community includes makers from all backgrounds, identities, and experience levels, united by shared enthusiasm for creating, learning, and supporting each other’s creative journeys.

Whether you’re looking to try something new, connect with fellow makers, or explore membership opportunities, you’ll find it here at NextFab!
