In celebration of this weekend's Brighton Pride, greetings card marketplace thortful has collaborated with four talented LGBTQI+ artists to create a range of exclusive cards specifically for the event. thortful will also donate 10p for every card sold to the Trans Pride Centre Brighton charity. 

Brighton, renowned as the LGBTQI+ capital of the UK, hosts one of the country's largest and most vibrant Pride celebrations.  

For the greeting cards company, embracing diversity is important. By providing LGBTQI+ artists with a platform to display their art and creativity on one of the UK's biggest queer stages, thortful is striving to show its commitment to inclusivity.

Independent LGBTQI+ artists Imy Lascelles, Seemal Sikander, Gonçalo Alves, and Ash Attzs were given complete creative freedom to design a range of cards that reflect their unique experiences within the community. 

These cards not only celebrate Pride but also capture the essence of what it means to be queer, highlighting the aspects most meaningful to them.

A spokesperson said:: 

"Giving back to the community is a core value for us. Pride embodies collectivity, unity, and celebration, and we are delighted to offer LGBTQI+ artists a platform to showcase their creativity. 

"The addition of partnering with Trans Pride Brighton is significant, as we greatly admire their mission and work. 

"We recognise the challenges minority groups face and are dedicated to supporting them in every way possible."
