Important LGBTQ Artists

Join artist and art educator Suzanne Altman for a look at the history and legacy of notable LGBTQ artists. This lecture covers artists from the Renaissance to the present day who are known to be LGBTQ (though it was often not publicly acknowledged at the time), and how their identity impacted their work. It also explores artists whose work was used for social change or whose sexual identity fundamentally shaped their creativity. Artists discussed include Michelangelo, John Singer Sargent, David Hockney, Keith Haring, Diane Arbus, and many more. Please visit events.mcl.org to register to receive the link to the program.
