The Orchard

As we look back on the Pride events we’ve covered, we’re genuinely grateful for the opportunity to witness and share in the joy, solidarity, and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community!

We are thrilled to announce that The Danny Awards, presented by Daniel's Music Foundation, are now accepting submissions for the 5th annual awards, set to take place on October 19, 2024, at Town Hall in New York City!

Congratulations to The Orchard's 2024 ELEVATE cohort! 🎓 The Orchard's ELEVATE program, in collaboration with Creative Outreach, provides participants with tools, training, and guidance to cultivate their business acumen and prepare them for senior management and executive-level roles.
