At Adobe we believe everyone deserves respect and equal treatment, and we know creativity has the power to support this by bringing people together to inspire, motivate and create positive change.

We are dedicated to amplifying and celebrating creators from all backgrounds, helping them to share their stories and create a more inclusive world.

During Pride and beyond, we’re championing the LGBTQIA+ community while shining a light on the power creativity has to inspire and unite us all.

Adobe employees get involved at the Midsumma Festival

Adobe employees celebrated Pride in Australia by getting involved in activities throughout the annual Midsumma Festival, an event that gives voice to the LGBTQIA+ community through celebration, world-class art and performance

Midsumma Carnival

A keystone event of the festival is the Midsumma Carnival. In 2023, members and allies of Pride at Adobe set up camp alongside some of Australia’s biggest brands to show support for LGBTQIA+ communities.

The Adobe tent had Midsumma-themed Adobe Express templates where people could design their own Pride post and share to social media. From customisable backgrounds to digital stickers, including the Adobe ‘Every Colour, Every Shade, Everywhere’ overlay, the templates were a way to celebrate the festivities.

Midsumma Pride March

During the Midsumma Pride March, Adobe employees seized the opportunity to show just how creative they can be. Adobe’s parade was all about unity, equity and inclusion, everything that #AdobeForAll stands for.

We teamed up with the world-famous Art Simone, former contestant on Ru Paul’s drag race, to join the celebration of creativity. Known for their incredible use of colour, as a pioneer for style, and as the embodiment of all thing's creativity, Art was the perfect ambassador to join the celebration.
