“I’m incredibly excited about this exhibition because it will show the reality of everyday life for a queer person,” Visual Arts Director Lundyn Herring said. “As a queer person, this exhibition resonates with me, because it illustrates just how wide the spectrum is in terms of sexuality. Everyone has a different coming out experience that contributes to your growth as a human being.”
