Queer Galleries

Our Queer Galleries host art exhibits that celebrate LGBTQ+ artists and LGBTQ-themed art.
Exhibits are professionally curated and each exhibit includes an artist reception. We also host exhibits that bring LGBTQ+ history to life - featuring materials from the Lehigh Valley LGBT Community Archive, or hosted in partnership with external organizations.
