WHO I AM: A Queer Perspective

September 6 - September 28, 2024

Jo Mueller Reserve Gallery

LGBTQIA+ individuals, and allies, often hold unique perspectives. JOMO EQ, a Joplin, Missouri community support group, and Spiva Center for the Arts are delighted to present an opportunity for queer artists to display artwork that reflects their personal perspectives or experiences.

The goal of WHO I AM: A Queer Perspective is to offer a formal space where queer-focused art is welcomed and can improve lives by making meaningful connections between queer artists and their supporters.

Be seen. Be understood. Be recognized.

Reception: September 5, 5:30-7:30 pm
