About the Exhibit
This online exhibit chronicles LGBTQ+ artwork of Central Pennsylvania. Explored within are the lives and art of different LGBTQ+ artists from or living in areas such as Harrisburg, Lancaster, York, and Carlisle, as well as art from various institutions and programs within the area. 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 looks 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.
This exhibit was created for the LGBT Center of Central PA History Project largely using materials from the Dickinson Archives.
