We’re Vending at Rhode Island Pride next week on June 20th! 🌈
This is a big one for us.
We’re incredibly excited to share that Kinks & Crafts Studio will be vending at Rhode Island Pride on June 20th, and honestly? It feels a little surreal. Pride has always been something deeply meaningful to us—not just as a celebration, but as a visible reminder that people deserve the freedom to love, express themselves, and exist authentically.
And this year, we get to be part of it in a whole new way.
Our Biggest Event Yet
Rhode Island Pride will officially be:
our first-ever outdoor vending event
the largest event we’ve ever participated in
No pressure, right?
We’ve been busy preparing, planning, and creating, and we cannot wait to bring our work into such a vibrant and affirming space. There’s something really special about being surrounded by thousands of people celebrating identity, community, and love in all its forms.
A Brand-New Product Category Debuts at Pride
We’re also using Rhode Island Pride to debut something completely new for the studio:
an entirely new category of products featuring fresh interpretations of some Pride flag designs.
These pieces have been a labor of love, and we’re so excited for people to finally see them in person. Representation matters deeply to us, and creating items inspired by Pride flags feels like such a meaningful way to celebrate the diversity within the LGBTQIA+ and polyamorous communities.
As always, we wanted these designs to feel joyful, expressive, and community-centered. Not just something you own, but something that helps you feel seen to the right people.
Come Find the Red Tent
If you’re attending Rhode Island Pride, please come visit us! We should be pretty easy to spot because our vending tent will have a bright red canopy standing proudly amongst the crowd.
Seriously, if you see a big red canopy over colorful pride goods, polyamory representation, conversation starters, and probably at least one of us sweating nervously in our black logo branded t-shirts while trying to reorganize displays…you found us.
Stop by, say hi, browse our products, or just chat with us about community, relationships, Pride, or your favorite ways to celebrate authenticity.
Supporting Small Businesses Matters
Now more than ever, supporting small local businesses matters. Independent artists and makers pour so much care (…and energy, resources, and money…) into what they create, and every purchase, share, and conversation genuinely helps keep those creative spaces alive.
When you support small businesses at events like Pride, you’re not just buying a product—you’re supporting real people, real creativity, and real community connection.
We’re honored to be part of Rhode Island Pride this year and especially proud to bring visible polyamory representation into the beautiful sea of identities, orientations, and ways of loving that Pride celebrates.
Because polyamory deserves visibility too.
We can’t wait to see you on June 20th. Come find the red tent! 🌈
