Out West: Gay and Lesbina Artists in the Southwest 1990-1969 surveys the work of gay and lesbian artists in the American Southwest from the early twentieth century through the Stonewall Riots of 1969, when the face of queer representation changed dramatically in the United States. This exhibition will explore the influential careers of LGBTQ artists, including Cady Wells, Marsden Hartley, Russel Cheney, and Agnes Sims in the Southwest and how their legacy remains a vital part of Southwestern cultural history. Out West also includes works by two spirited artists.
