There will be an exploration of the obstacles in place, the emotional endurance, and most importantly, the successes. Each panelist and the host have a deep experience navigating the art world with their queer lenses. After hearing about their journeys, we will explore what it means to celebrate them and their art. We will conclude with a short Q&A and celebratory praise for each talented individual.
