Following on the success of last spring’s juried show, College is gearing up for its second exhibition of art that thoughtfully interprets issues of importance to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community.

“LGBTQ: A Union Perspective,” will be held in the Wikoff Student Gallery, Nott Memorial, in the spring. The deadline for submissions is March 13. A formal call will go out in the winter term.

Students, faculty, staff and alumni are invited to submit original artworks in any medium or form. The show is tentatively scheduled for April 16-June 1.

“I’m so excited we’re doing this again. The student response last year was very positive, and we’ve got some new ideas on how to improve the process this year,” said Courtney Seymour, Schaffer Library Head of Collection Development, one of the show’s coordinators. “The whole experience was a moving one in that it broadened the dialogue on campus.”

Once again, the show will be a collaborative effort among many campus groups. Stay tuned for further details.
