Gallery on Gazebo opens 'Shoe Your Pride' exhibition
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. – This stylish collection is celebrating Pride Month in artistic fashion. The 'Shoe Your Pride' exhibition opened Saturday at Gallery on Gazebo, 140 Gazebo Park, downtown Johnstown, and it showcases artist-designed shoes that are symbols of self-expression, identity and inclusion. 'This is an opportunity for artists to celebrate Pride by decorating, personalizing or embellishing a pair of shoes to exhibit and share with the community,' said Laura Huchel, exhibit coordinator. On display are 13 pieces of customized footwear ranging from high heels to boots to children's shoes to roller skates. 'There's a bit of a play on words with 'shoe' and 'show,' so it's about showing your Pride with your pair of shoes,' Huchel said. 'There's definitely a lot of sculpture, and there are some things that I would be delighted to wear myself. 'There's a lot of messaging and beauty to this.' Exhibiting artist Janean Wheeler's 'Cute as a Button' is dedicated to transgender youths. The children's shoes are adorned with varying styles of buttons with the words 'Happy Kiddo' written on them. 'I think that trans is sometimes overlooked in Pride and I think they are at risk for harm, so I wanted to focus on them,' she said. Wheeler said the show can serve as way to bring the community together. 'It can be preaching to the choir a little bit, so I think the challenge is more about how do we bring other people into the conversation; and maybe art can do that,' she said. 'The shoes is a fun part because it's not so in-your-face. I think it adds a little bit of interest and wonder.' The exhibition will be open during the Johnstown Pride event June 21 in Central Park, and there will be handouts for children to color shoes. 'I want people to feel inspired and hopeful and just delighted by the efforts of people, and really recognized and seen,' Huchel said. 'This truly is a celebration of Pride. I hope this makes people feel welcome at the gallery and we can celebrate everyone's identity.' The exhibition will run through June 28. Many of the pieces in the show are available for purchase. The exhibit sponsor is Lambcakes. There is no fee to attend. Gallery on Gazebo hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. For more information, visit

Taylor mayor acknowledges ‘uproar' over Pride proclamation denial, calls it ‘partisan issue'
TAYLOR, Texas (KXAN) — The mayor of Taylor, Texas, has doubled down on a decision to deny signing an official proclamation acknowledging June as Pride Month, just weeks ahead of an annual Pride festival in the city. Mayor Dwayne Ariola made a Facebook post about it on Wednesday, saying he wanted to 'address recent concerns regarding the Pride Proclamation and clarify the position of my office and the City Council.' Previous coverage | Taylor Pride denied city proclamation after 4 years of approvals, sparking backlash, petition The City Council is a nonpartisan body, and it is my strong belief that we should remain focused on representing all residents, without stepping into issues that are clearly divisive along partisan lines. The recent uproar—on both sides—regarding this proclamation request makes it clear that this has become a partisan issue, and as such, I do not believe it would be appropriate for a nonpartisan council. Dwayne Ariola, Mayor of the City of Taylor, Texas, via Facebook Earlier this month, non-profit organization Taylor Pride posted on social media about Ariola's decision to deny a request from a resident for an official Pride Month proclamation. The group also created a petition online pushing for Ariola to reverse the denial. As of Thursday morning, the petition had more than 1,600 signatures. Taylor Pride is the group behind organizing the city's annual Pride celebration. This year, the Taylor Pride Music and Arts Festival will be held Saturday, June 28, at Heritage Square Park, marking its fifth anniversary. Ariola also said in the Facebook post that the permits for the annual Pride celebration were approved, saying, 'I fully support the right of individuals to celebrate and express themselves freely,' and that the only difference this year is that there will not be a signed mayoral proclamation. Taylor was the first Williamson County city to host an official Pride celebration back in 2021. Other area cities, like Georgetown, Leander, and Cedar Park, followed suit. Since the first Taylor Pride celebration, the city has received a Pride Proclamation yearly, signed by former Mayor Brandt Rydell. This is the first year in the last four that an official Pride Proclamation has been denied for the city of Taylor. The city of Taylor earlier this month sent KXAN the email correspondence between Mayor Ariola and the person who submitted the proclamation application this year. An email from Ariola stated his initial reasoning for denying the application was that there are other 'unifying observances' during the month, such as Juneteenth and the birthday of former Texas Gov. Dan Moody, who is a Taylor native. Taylor Pride organizers and other community members are planning to show up to the city's council meeting Thursday evening to voice concerns over the mayor's decision. Neighboring Williamson County cities Cedar Park and Georgetown are set to issue proclamations recognizing Pride month. Cedar Park will issue a proclamation recognizing June as Pride Month at its city council meeting Thursday evening, according to the council's agenda. Georgetown is set to proclaim June as Pride Month on Friday, June 20. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
