An Evening with Trystan Reese

The Arts Center presents an evening of advocacy, storytelling, and community! Trystan Reese will bring his story of life, family and transition to The Whiteside Theatre, April 26, 2019.

Trystan Reese sprang into the public consciousness in 2017 when he decided to tell his trans pregnancy story in the mainstream media. He and his partner, Biff, are also the adoptive parents of Biff's biological niece and nephew. They are proud to have expanded the public conversation about trans reproductive justice, queer families, and what it means to be a father. He regularly tells the unique story of his family's creation to audiences across the country. He is also the Director of Family Formation at Family Equality Council, a national nonprofit dedicated to supporting LGBTQ+ families and those who wish to form them.

This event kicks off The Arts Center's newest exhibit, An Iris Stands Tall: A Mother's Journey, a Daughter's Transition, featuring work by Annette Sabater.

The event and the exhibit are both free and open to the public! Donations welcomed!
