Friday, March 6 to Sunday, May 31, Columbus Museum of Art, 480 E. Broad St.

Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots of 1969, this long-awaited and groundbreaking survey features more than 200 works of art and related visual materials that explore the profound impact of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBTQ) Civil Rights movement on the art world. It presents a diverse group of artists and activists who lived and worked at the intersections of avant-garde art worlds, radical political movements, and profound social change. This exhibition focuses on both the work of openly-LGBTQ artists as well as the practices of artists in terms of their engagement with newly emerging queer subcultures. “Art after Stonewall, 1969-1989” highlights a wide array of conceptual, performance, film, and video art, as well as photography, painting, sculpture, music, along with historical documents and images taken from magazines, newspapers and television.
