It’s official, Leslie-Lohman’s 2022 gala is slated to happen November 7th at Slate NY! As the only contemporary art museum in the world dedicated to LGBTQIA+ art and artists, we’re guided by the daily imperative to affirm and nurture queer creativity, pride, and resilience. Leslie-Lohman is a space of imagination and celebration built by and for our community.

This year we have the incredible honor of celebrating the life and legacy of our beloved Magaret Rose Vendryes, Ph.D., who passed away unexpectedly earlier this year. Margaret was a noted art historian, accomplished and revered visual artist, educator, curator, and served on the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art Board of Trustees from 2014-2022. Margaret’s joie de vivre, tenacity, and vision continue to guide our institution and it only is fitting to honor Margaret in this momentous way.

Join us November 7th for a celebratory night of queer joy and futurity, and surprise!

The Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art provides a platform for artistic exploration through multi-faceted queer perspectives. We embrace the power of the arts to inspire, explore, and foster understanding of the rich diversity of LGBTQIA+ experiences. Through annual exhibitions, public programs, educational initiatives, artist fellowships, and a journal, LLMA forefronts the interrelationship of art and social justice for LGBTQIA+ communities in NYC and beyond. Our collection includes over 25,000 objects spanning 4 centuries of queer art.
