Your Queer Arts and Culture Hub

The Center is a cornerstone of LGBTQ+ Culture in New York City. It is where, on any given day, you can catch a premiere on our 22-foot screen, hear dynamic musical talent, listen as prominent authors and public figures discuss their work, or attend a theatrical presentation.

Art is a crucial part of the story of the LGBTQ+ community in New York City. The LGBTQ+ community has been able to tell our stories and fight for our rights through our art, leveraging art as a platform for individual voices and self-expression. LGBTQ+ artists are a significant force in the city's cultural landscape.

Preserving LGBTQ+ History

The National History Archive exists to preserve and collect a variety of artifacts documenting LGBTQ+ experiences, historical events, and people.
