About the Exhibit
This online exhibit chronicles LGBTQ+ artwork of Central Pennsylvania.

Art comes in many different shapes from more classical forms of art such as drawing or painting, to physical art in the form of costumes. clothing and sculpture, to performance art such as acting, singing and dancing. Art is an expression of self, a creative outlet and a calling for many. This exhibit aims to explore the lives of LGBTQ+ artists from the area and look at the intersection of queerness and art. Included in this exhibit are the artists Jude Sharp and Paul Foltz along side art from the Inspired Exhibit and the Gay Era newspaper.
