Affirmations and GNA (the Gender-Identity Network Alliance) will celebrate the work of local trans* and gender non-conforming artists at the gallery opening of "Trans* Visibility." The opening will feature live performances from local artists which will include spoken word and music, time with the artists, and refreshments. There are 18 trans* and gender non-conforming artists and over 30 pieces in the show.
The gallery will be exhibited in Affirmations' Pittmann-Puckett Gallery, which hosts the work of LGBTQ+ artists in several shows each year.
The event begins 7 p.m. Thursday, April 14. For more information, contact Kelsey Hug: [email protected].
