In celebration of Pride month, The SoHo Project Space is presenting “A Culture of Queer,” through the end of June in New York City. This show displays a variety of works by NYC artists, spanning a number of mediums and disciplines.
“This exhibition is a celebration of queer art and the role it plays in enriching civilization. This can take shape in many forms, often not directly addressing sexuality or identity, but provoking thought in countless ways,” the organization’s website reads.
The SoHo Project is an independent photography gallery in New York City with the self-described mission of “preserving the gay art exhibition legacy of Charles W. Leslie and J. Frederic ‘Fritz’ Lohman.” This pair is revered in the queer art world for their expansive art collection and showstopping exhibitions. Before they were a couple, they were independent New York art collectors who were introduced at a brunch in the early 1960s. Today their legacy lives on in many place, including the Leslie-Lohman Museum in Soho.
Following the successful opening of the exhibition this week, The SoHo Project Space wrote on Instagram: “Running an independent and inclusive art space takes a village, and moments like these remind us how fortunate we are to be surrounded by such a generous and creative community. We are grateful for the opportunity to create a space for artists and deeply thankful to everyone who continues to support artists, dialogue, and community through the work we do.”
To see the exhibit you can visit the project’s space at 127B Prince Street, New York City. It runs now through June 27 so make sure to put it on your calendar.
