DESCRIPTION
‘Resonantly Me’ features works showcasing the vibrant creativity and unique perspectives of California-based LGBTQIA+ artists. Diverse in style, tone, and subject matter these images highlight the human experience through the queer lens underscoring how their stories play a crucial role in shaping today’s culture. California’s rich history as a major site for LGBTQ+ community, culture, and politics consistently works in tandem with the mission of the art world to utilize fine art as a collaborative experience where the dialogue between artist and viewer brings forth new perspectives and emotional resonance. This empowering showcase will uplift visitors who identify as queer, as well as those who often feel like outsiders within their own communities.
