LGBT communities have a rich history in the arts. 

Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center believes that celebrating LGBT artists, writers, and filmmakers is central to the vibrancy of our local LGBT community. We work to bring high-quality arts and culture programs to our community. 

Our arts & culture programs are intended to be fun, educational, and social community events. All arts & culture programs are sober social events at Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center where no alcohol is served. 

Our Current Programs:

The Fine Art Galleries: Professionally-curated fine art galleries celebrating LGBT artists and LGBT-themed art

The LGBT Library: Professionally-staffed LGBT library with a 2000-volume collection and regular author talks and community book discussions 

Reel Queer Film Series: Presenting free screenings of LGBT-themed independent, arthouse, and documentary films

LGBT Community Archive: Preserving our local LGBT history for our future

Art History from a Queer Perspective: Lectures in art history

Our Arts & Culture Programs team includes:

• Adrian Shanker, Executive Director

Our arts and culture programs are supported, in part, by City Center Allentown, Air Products, The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and our individual and family donors.
