In this Pride Exhibit Panel Discussion learn from the diverse group of local LGBTQ+ artists presenting work in the Exhibit about:<ul><li>what &amp; who inspires them, &amp; whether they have been inspired by any other queer artists?</li><li>the evolution of their work?</li><li>how their queerness does and does not affect their work?</li><li>what its like to be a queer artist in the Berkshires?</li></ul>LGBTQ artists have been integrally involved in building and sustaining all of the arts institutions in the Berkshires for more than 200 years, and have been woven into the fabric of the creative economy that makes the Berkshires famous all over the world. So of course in 2025 a coalition of local organizations want to celebrate their contributions by showing their works at a special Pride Exhibit at the Becket Arts Center. Many people know the famous LGBTQ artists who have created world-famous works in the Berkshires like Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, &amp; Ted Shawn, but fewer people know the many local queer artists who make the works we see in our homes, businesses, local stages, galleries, &amp; museums. This Pride Exhibit is for those artists who are your neighbors, colleagues, &amp; friends.The Berkshire Queer History Project (BQHP) will be on hand filming stories from both artists and their patrons about the local LGBTQ+ artists who have made our lives better by making, exhibiting or performing in the Berkshires. This exhibit is a chance for BQHP to capture stories about past, present, and emerging LGBTQ artists and hear their stories in their own words.<a href="https://www.becketartscenter.org/exhibitions" title="https://www.becketartscenter.org/exhibitions" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">LEARN MORE ABOUT THE EXHIBIT</a>: After 5/15, click this <a href="https://www.becketartscenter.org/exhibitions" title="https://www.becketartscenter.org/exhibitions" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Exhibit Link</a> to learn more about the exhibit and the artists who are featured in it.ARTISTS PLEASE CLICK TO <a href="https://www.becketartscenter.org/exhibitions/2025" title="https://www.becketartscenter.org/exhibitions/2025" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">SUBMIT WORKS</a> FOR THE EXHIBIT BY 4/15/25
