SpeakOut: The Intersection of LGBTQ Identity and Art

June 4, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

70+ artworks reveal the impact of COVID on LGBTQ+ art, plus a discussion of What is Queer Art? with Saudade Toxosi and Steve Glassman.

Stereotypes about artistic talent traditionally center on white males, whether gay or not. What are the challenges faced by women, particularly lesbians or bisexuals who are BIPOC? What are the unique talents and needs of transgender artists or of LGBTQ artists across different media? If LGBTQ individuals are, in fact, overrepresented in artistic fields, why might that be?
