SILVERMINE ARTS CENTER WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25th IN OBSERVANCE OF YOM KIPPUR

In celebration of Pride month, Silvermine presents QUEERwerks, an exhibition that showcases the dynamic artistic spirit of the LGBTQIA+ community. Each artwork tells a compelling story, shedding light on personal journeys, struggles, triumphs, and the celebration of queer identity. QUEERwerks invites visitors to step into the artists’ worlds, fostering a dialogue that honors their complexities and truths.
