New York, NY, June 09, 2015 --(PR.com)-- "EVERYBODY in LOVE" featuring LeonidesArts Gallery artist/curator Ricardo Osmondo Francis and artist Gail Thacker along with other artists and performers will premiere at the Brooklyn Community Pride Center with an art opening/spoken word presentation that opens on June 9th from 6 PM - 9 PM (art exhibit will remain on display until June 30th). The project will then be presented as "pop up” art with performance at the Brooklyn Academy Of Music's "Everybooty" on June 26 2015 for one day only. "Everybody in Love" is an interdisciplinary series of events featuring visual artists, performance acts and spoken word coming to Brooklyn in celebration of PRIDE.

According to Ricardo Osmondo Francis, Project Curator, “Conceptually this project is a more lyrical view of "humanity" and our need to love and be loved through the eyes of LGBTQ identified visual artists and performing artists. This project is neither political or polarizing. Instead this project presents a more thought provoking inclusive view of each other while challenging the often social political assumptions we often place on each other. Through painting, drawing, mixed media, photography, film/video, music, dance, poetry/spoken and dance, "EVERYBODY in LOVE" dares the viewer to love one's self, to love life, and to love each other, no matter who it is with or how one identifies one's self.”

"EVERYBODY in LOVE" will feature Visual Artists Ricardo Osmondo Francis, David Rios Ferreira, Seth Ruggles Hiler, Joya Angola Thompson, Gail Thacker, Salvador Munoz, Jennye Patterson, Frances Arpaia, La Buruquena (Benjamin Gonzalez), Edwin Ojeda Gonzalez, Aneeta Mita and Benito Valadie.
