ARTS & CULTURAL PROGRAMS

The Center is your cultural home base, and has been at the heart of New York City’s LGBT community since our earliest days. From our long-running Second Tuesday lecture series to premieres, panels and performances, we attract notable public figures from the arts, politics and academia to create, connect and celebrate with you.

Visit us and see all that we have to offer.

For avid arts and culture enthusiasts, learn more about volunteering at Center arts and culture events.

Center arts and cultural programs are made possible by a grant from The Kors Le Pere Foundation.
