The International Human Rights Art Festival presents:

Diversity is Fun!!

To laugh together is to grow together.
We feed our souls as activists when we take an evening and just enjoy ourselves.

Diversity is Fun is premised on the fact that sometimes, an evening of mirth and shared enjoyment is just what the spirit-doc ordered! We'll gather in Times Square, kick back and and enjoy the music and comedy of a diverse group of artists/activists, recharging together and preparing to rejoin the battle of Light v. Dark...
