Today's the day! ?๏ธโ€??๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ Brown County is celebrating its FIRST-EVER public Pride, happening right now at the @browncoinn in Nashville, Indiana. This moment has been building for a while. Since last May, the monthly Big Queer Hangout at the Birds Nest Cafe has grown into a gathering of up to 80โ€“100 people, and organizers decided Nashville was ready for something bigger and more public. We couldn't agree more. The free festival features dozens of vendors, family-friendly activities, a silent auction, and free STI testing, with a reception and live music later this evening. If you're anywhere near Brown County today, go show some love. And if you can't make it, the Big Queer Hangout happens every first Sunday of the month, 5:00 until late. Congratulations to the Brown County IN Pride organizers on making history! ? Learn more at bcpride.com #IRCC #IndyRainbowChamber #BrownCountyPride #IndianaPride

? Remembering Peter Max ? Peter Max, Trippy Artist of Counterculture Era and Beyond, Dies at 88 With work that breathed the spirit of the 1960s, he became fabulously wealthy from licensing his paintings and posters in all their euphoric Day-Glo glory. This week the art world lost one of its most joyful voices. Peter Max, the artist whose swirling rainbows, cosmic sunrises, and psychedelic colors defined a generation's hope for something freer and brighter, passed away Monday at 88 after a long journey with dementia. Max didn't just make art for galleries โ€” he put color and joy into everyday life, onto album covers, sneakers, even airplanes. His work captured a spirit the counterculture era shared with the earliest days of LGBTQ+ liberation: the belief that color, self-expression, and unapologetic joy are themselves a form of resistance. Rest in vibrant color, Peter Max. Thank you for reminding us that art can be both beautiful and brave. ?๏ธโ€??๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ #IRCC #IndyRainbowChamber #RIP #PeterMax #CultureIcon #Artist #Color #Joy

IRCC Membership Spotlight: Flags For Good Well, We Somehow Made It to the ...ber Months! ? Pumpkin Spice is already wafting out of coffee shops (even though, let's be honest, we'll still be getting them iced for the foreseeable future). But fall isn't just about lattes โ€” September is packed with awareness causes worth flying a flag for. Here's your rundown of the month's biggest moments, and the flags to fly alongside them. September's Awareness Calendar: Sept 9 โ€” California Admission Day Celebrating the day California joined the Union in 1850. All of September โ€” Suicide Prevention Month A month-long reminder to check in on the people around you โ€” and on yourself. Sept 10 โ€” World Suicide Prevention Day A single day to spotlight the cause year-round. Sept 21 โ€” International Day of Peace A UN-designated day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, worldwide. Sept 16โ€“23 โ€” Bisexual Awareness Week, culminating in Sept 23 โ€” Bi Visibility Day A week (and a day) to celebrate and support bisexual communities. And Yes... Let's Talk Midterms We know, we know โ€” it feels early. But it's not. The midterm elections are coming up, and as per usual, these are somehow again the most important elections of our lifetime. Raising awareness around voting in a non-presidential year is paramount to our democracy โ€” turnout always dips when there's no presidential race at the top of the ballot, and every seat still matters. Grab an election flag now and start flying it early and often โ€” democracy doesn't wait for November. Shop Flags For Good in-person or online, FFG has got you covered for every cause on this list! Flags For Good's Mission: Raise awareness of causes that move humanity in the right direction ? Donate a portion of each sale to said causes! Put more tools of change in people's hands!

In Memory of Bob Mackie (1939โ€“2026) Today the world lost a true original. Bob Mackie, the legendary
In Memory of Bob Mackie (1939–2026) Today the world lost a true original. Bob Mackie, the legendary "Sultan of Sequins" and "Rajah of Rhinestones," passed away in Palm Springs at 87, and with him goes an era of pure, unapologetic Hollywood glamour. For more than five decades, Mackie didn't just design clothes — he designed moments. He turned Cher into a goddess of sequins and illusion lace. He gave Elton John his flamboyant flair. He dressed Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Bette Midler, Dolly Parton, and generations of icons who understood that a truly great outfit doesn't just complement a performance — it is the performance. And then there was Carol Burnett. For eleven years, Mackie was the creative force behind every stitch on that show, and he gave us one of the most perfect jokes in television history: the "curtain dress," complete with a brass rod still hanging across her shoulders — a note-perfect send-up of Scarlett O'Hara that got one of the longest laughs in TV history. It now lives on in the Smithsonian, exactly where it belongs. Nominated for more than 30 Emmys and taking home nine. Three Academy Award nominations. The first costume designer ever inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame. He even brought his sparkle to Barbie's closet, because glamour, in Mackie's world, had no age limit. His team said it best: "His genius and extraordinary designs will live on forever, continuing to bring beauty into this world." They will. Every sequin, every feather, every impossibly fabulous silhouette he ever sketched is a piece of him still catching the light. Rest well, Bob. Thank you for teaching us all that too much is never enough. โœจ #BobMackie #RIP #FashionIcon #Designer #Illusion #Grace #FlamboyantFlair #SimplytheBest

๐Ÿณ๏ธ‍๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธ‍โšง๏ธ Huge congratulations to IRCC member Big Car Collaborative on being featured in @chigallerynews ! The article, "A New Kind of Museum: A Stand-Out Space Opens in Indianapolis," highlights the incredible 20+ year journey of Big Car's Shauta Marsh and Jim Walker as they prepared to open the Contemporary Art Museum Indianapolis (CAMI) this past May. What started as a group of artists wanting to bring more creative energy to Indianapolis has grown into a movement — from Fountain Square beginnings, to the adaptive reuse of a former Sears tire center into Service Center in Lafayette Square, to now the city's newest contemporary art museum. Along the way, Big Car has built community through art, music, skate ramps, and even a pizza garden grown from scratch! We are so proud to have Big Car as part of the IRCC family and are so PROUD of the CAMI's grand opening. Congratulations to Shauta, Jim, and the whole Big Car team! ๐ŸŽ‰ https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/articles/a-new-kind-of-museum-a-stand-out-space-opens-in-indianapolis?fbclid=IwY2xjawUS3ZBwZG9mAWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAGJyaWQRMXl6dUJtcFRndkg2MnRuRHhzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeKZukLg386Us58S7r5TAyz2ucJ9rpYTxtnw3s5lUdqfVtpdJupsPBd-EmMTM_aem_9wHk04gQFqwHft-rq4zxCQ #IRCC #IndyRainbowChamber #BigCarGallery #CAMI #SupportLocalArts #Community

This new space gives the organization the room and infrastructure to support its continued growth, and opens the door to new opportunities for collaboration, shared resources, education, and community connection alongside fellow member arts organizations. We're so happy to see IMC join their new neighbors in the Collaborative — American Piano Awards, Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra (ICO), and Indianapolis Symphonic Choir — in this next phase. Go Dawgs, and congratulations, IMC! ๐ŸŽถ Want the full announcement? Check the comments below! #IRCC #IndyRainbowChamber #IMC #SupportTheArts #NewSeason #NewHome #ButlerArtsCollaborative
Now Showing at IRCC Member The District Theatre LUNGS by Duncan Macmillan Presented by District Theatre | Sept 11 & 12 at 7:30 p.m. | Sept 13 at 4:00 p.m. Our friends at District Theatre are bringing something special to Indy this weekend: LUNGS by Duncan Macmillan. This is a play that has genuinely traveled the world โ€” from its 2011 rolling world premiere at D.C.'s Studio Theatre and Sheffield's Crucible Theatre, to an Edinburgh Fringe Award in 2015 (no small feat among 3,000+ shows), to stages across Germany, Austria, India, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Australia, and New Zealand โ€” before returning home more refined each time. At its heart, LUNGS is about a couple wrestling with love, climate anxiety, and the enormous decision of whether to bring a child into an uncertain world. Macmillan doesn't hand you easy answers โ€” he just asks the question underneath it all: if we wait for certainty, will we ever choose at all? ? Sept 11 & 12 at 7:30 p.m. | Sept 13 at 4:00 p.m. Purchase Tickets Here: indydistricttheatre.org KILA'DELPHIA Presented by Zed Teatro Theatre, produced by @indianapolisblacktheater | Sept 9โ€“27 Now playing at District Theatre member Zed Teatro Theatre: KILA'DELPHIA, running September 9โ€“27. Originally created by playwright DP Demarco in the mid-2000s in response to the devastating toll of urban violence, this play has sparked conversation for nearly two decades โ€” and it hasn't lost an ounce of relevance. Produced by the Indianapolis Black Theater Company, this staging follows young people navigating loyalty, fear, love, faith, and the choices that shape their futures, set against a city caught between hope and heartbreak. It's raw, it's powerful, and it asks a question we've heard echoed in other great works this season: how do individuals and communities break destructive cycles and build something different? ?๏ธ BUY TICKETS HERE: indydistricttheatre.org #SupportLocalTheatre #SupportTheArts #TheDistrictTheatre #ZedTeatroTheatre #IBTC

That's the kind of legacy our member businesses carry. What makes it a Top 10 contender? Rose-colored corned beef piled high and pressed until it looks like a shuffled deck of cards, tangy Russian dressing, half-melted Swiss, and a pungent blitz of sauerkraut โ€” all held together by buttery toasted rye that somehow stays perfectly stacked. This is exactly why we love celebrating our members โ€” local businesses doing what they do best and getting the citywide recognition they deserve. ?

๐Ÿณ๏ธ‍๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธ‍โšง๏ธ Member Spotlight: Vicki Hall, Senior Financial Advisor at C.H. Douglas & Gray Wealth Management Some stories remind you what real strength looks like. Vicki Hall — former Indiana Miss Basketball, ABL and WNBA player/coach — has spent the last several years showing exactly that. Between 2018 and 2025, Vicki experienced three ischemic strokes. Each one, in her words, changed her "physically and emotionally," forcing her to rebuild not just her strength, but her sense of purpose. Recovery has meant relearning how to speak, working through aphasia, and — some of the hardest parts — being patient with herself while asking others to be patient too. "It's hard to not be able to talk. It's hard to not be able to walk, and it kind of makes you want to give up. But you can't," Vicki says. "If I can help a couple people see that, it's worth it." Today, Vicki brings that same determination to her work as a Senior Financial Advisor at CH Douglas & Gray Wealth — and to everyone she meets. She's even planning to join Toastmasters to keep building her public speaking skills. We're proud to call Vicki an IRCC member, and grateful she's willing to share her story so openly. Her resilience is a reminder to all of us: with determination, faith, and the right support, progress happens. Join us in celebrating Vicki today! ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒˆ โค Read's Vicki's story via this link: https://www.goodmancampbell.com/2026/05/from-basketball-star-to-three-time-stroke-survivor-vicki-hall-wants-you-to-keep-fighting/?fbclid=IwY2xjawUHB6hwZG9mBWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR6uzSJKt94HQIzNJWxxb9_jhCYPHp762jWyUjXXl3K_XYMTl6s3f9yCYoHChg_aem_7WQ7RInXYehvnMgo-Lzpzw #IRCC #IndyRainbowChamber #VickiHall #Coach #Player #FinancialAdvisor #INMissBasketball #ABL #WBNA #College #HighSchool #HooperinLife

"As a physician, going out on your own can feel lonely at times. One of the best parts of building INcircle Health has been getting more connected to the diverse community of people and businesses that make Indy such a great place to do business. The Rainbow Chamber has been a big part of that. I've gotten so much awesome support, and I'm feeling very grateful."

Gloria Steinem, the pioneering writer, feminist organizer, and political activist, passed away peacefully at her New York City home on September 2, 2026, at age 92, surrounded by some of the many who loved her. CNN For more than half a century, Steinem helped redefine what was possible for women โ€” as a journalist, a co-founder of Ms. Magazine, and one of the most recognizable voices of the modern women's movement. At a time when women were largely limited to domestic roles, she challenged gender stereotypes and championed feminist ideals like equality, sisterhood, and reproductive freedom. Her work on women's rights in the workplace, the right to abortion, and sex education reshaped the landscape for generations who came after her. Here at the @indyrainbowchamber , we know that the fight for equality is one movement โ€” and Gloria Steinem's decades of tireless advocacy helped clear the path for all of us who continue that work today. Her belief that everyone deserves the freedom to define their own life is a value we carry forward every day. Rest in power, Gloria.

๐Ÿณ๏ธ‍๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธ‍โšง๏ธ Big news from @indyrainbowchamber member Phoenix Theatre Cultural Centre ! Next week marks the world premiere of "Everybody's Favorite Mothers," written by acclaimed playwright James Still — opening Phoenix's 2026/27 season and running September 3-20. Christel DeHaan Artistic Director Constance Macy stars as Jeanne Manford, alongside Jack Ducat as her son Morty, in a true story that's been called "a love story disguised as a protest." In 1972, after 21-year-old Morty was beaten and hospitalized for handing out flyers, his mother Jeanne marched beside him in the Christopher Street Liberation Day Parade — becoming one of the first parents to publicly stand with a gay child, and sparking the movement that led to the founding of PFLAG. The story doesn't stop at the stage. The Michael O'Brien Gallery hosts "The Power of Protest," a two-week exhibit (Sept 1-13) featuring political posters curated by Lars Lawson alongside original paintings by Robert Bentley and Ellie Garvey. Phoenix is also hosting free community discussions to explore the play's themes and connect this history to Indianapolis today. And a special thank-you to fellow IRCC memberC.H. Douglas & Gray Wealth Management who is proud to sponsor this production! Join @c_h_douglas for a pre-show party at @phoenixtheatreindy on Friday, September 11 — reception at 6:30 p.m., curtain at 7:30 p.m. RSVP with Rick Lassiter at adminassist@chdouglas.com.
