Arts & LGBTQ Identity

Arts & LGBTQ Identity

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning individuals have not only made incredible contributions to arts and culture, but they have used the arts as a way to both inspire and foster community. LGBTQ artists have harnessed their creative practice to fight misconceptions, promote progressive dialogue, and most importantly: empower identity, self-expression, and the ability to tell one's own true story. 

This collection features artists, organizations, and funders who work to expand the base of support for LGBTQ rights via performance, song, video, and so much more. Read on to explore the full depth of important work being created and lived below.
