Lavender Education

Lavender Education celebrates LGBTQIA2S+ history and community through arts and education. We offer arts workshops, historical walking tours, professional development for educators, social experiences, and more!

We were founded in 2023 by Kimm Topping, a Boston-based community historian, educator, and writer. Since our founding, Lavender Education has continuously grown its programming to better meet the interests of our community. We welcome your ideas and interests, too! Our current events and offerings can be found here. We also provide customized experiences for groups and organizations.

At Lavender Education, we believe in the power of storytelling, creativity, and community as catalysts for social change. Our mission is rooted in inclusivity, collaboration, and a deep respect for the rich history and diversity of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. We value education that uplifts marginalized voices, challenges systemic inequalities, and fosters connection across identities and experiences.

Through our workshops, walking tours, and professional development programs, we create spaces for learning and reflection that honor the past while envisioning a brighter, more equitable future. Our approach is interactive and immersive, blending art and history to inspire engagement and activism. We are committed to making our offerings accessible, welcoming, and responsive to all.

At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to joy, connection, and collective empowerment. We believe that by celebrating our history and nurturing creative expression, we can build a more inclusive together.
