This gallery show will run from June 26 through October 10 in the Museum building’s second-floor community gallery.

Authentically YOU is a gallery theme that celebrates the full spectrum of queer identity, expression, and becoming. The concept centers on self‑definition, visibility, and the courage it takes to live as your truest self in a world that often demands conformity. It invites artists and viewers alike to step into a space where queerness is not explained or defended — it is lived, felt, and honored.
An opening reception will be held as part of “Final Fridays: Pride Xtravaganza” on June 26 from 5-9pm, more details TBA.
