‘Queer people have always flocked to New York City seeking freedom and forging close-knit groups for mutual support and inspiration. Our new exhibition Gay Gotham: Art and Underground Culture in New York brings to life the LGBT artistic communities that sprang up over the last hundred years, a creative class whose radical ideas would greatly influence the definition and evolution of “modern” culture in New York City. To celebrate the exhibition\u2019s opening, join artist and activist Harmony Hammond, writer and activist Sarah Schulman, and moderator Bryan Lowder, associate editor of Slate, for a lively panel discussion exploring the cultural dynamics of gay New York, past, present, and future.’<\/p>\n
