This episode of Conversations in the Arts, The Arts and LGBTQA+ was recorded live at the Huntington Arts Council's Main Street Gallery on January 9, 2020, at 7:00 pm.
LGBTQA+ individuals have not only made major contributions to arts and culture, but have used the arts as a way to both inspire and foster community. LGBTQA+ artists have harnessed their creativity to fight misconceptions, promote progressive dialogue, and empower identity, self-expression, and the ability to tell one’s own true story.
Panelists: Matt Rosenberg, Production Manager/Eastline Theatre
Anu Annam, Artist, Art Educator and Curator
Greg Fox, Artist and Writer Greg Fox
Christie LaSpina, LI Pride Chorus
Moderator: Dr. Nichelle Rivers/Artist and Educator
Conversations in the Arts has evolved into an ongoing program by the Huntington Arts Council to stimulate and promote the arts. These participatory talks featuring artists and scholars from our community, will enrich our arts experiences and help us to more fully understand the values and contributions the arts have made, and continue to make, to society. Conversations will be held monthly as engaged inquiries and dialogues used to explore ideas, facilitate collaborations and networking opportunities. Open to the public.
