Join a staff-led gallery talk with a focus on two works by LGBTQ+ artists represented in SAAM’s collection. Explore the symbolism in Joey Terrill’s still life A Bigger Piece (2008) and compare it to Lenore Chinn’s forthright portrait of gay identity, Land’s End (1987). This tour is offered as part of World Pride events.
