Scenes from the recent opening reception of ArtServe’s “Stories From Within” LGBTQIA+ multi-media art exhibit running through October 23, 2021.
The “Stories” exhibit itself, which is free to attend, explores LGBTQIA+ culture, history, and experience in South Florida and beyond through the presentation of multidisciplinary works inspired by the LGBTQIA+ social movements, its resilience, sense of community and artistic expressions.
The September 17 “Stories” opening reception featured Arts United’s “Art Explosion” fashion show and entertainment by Joe Posa “The Bitch is Back” as Joan Rivers.
