“LGBTQ+” is an acronym used to refer to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, other gender identities and sexually diverse groups, including intersex and asexual individuals. The year 2021 will mark the ninth LGBTQ+ at Union exhibition, a tradition which began in 2008 and provides a platform for expression for students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Through shared experiences, members of the Union community continue to learn and grow, and bring awareness to the LGBTQ+ experience at Union College. The goals of the exhibition are to stimulate conversation, educate the campus community on the topic of LGBTQ+ life at Union, and provide an occasion for LGBTQ+ individuals and Allies to share their perspectives.

*Artwork must be “ready to hang”/exhibit prior to installation dates chosen by the gallery.
