Family

“Family” is an exhibition honoring the LGBTQ community nontraditional family structures.

Join us at Cultural Alliance of Long Beach Gallery for the opening night that will include an artist talk, poetry, and live music. This exhibition is free and open to the public!

“‘Family’ honors the LGBTQ community family structures. In the struggle for self-identity, many individuals build new families. These families are very important and valuable. These families are not necessarily by blood or tradition but by the connections made with people. These are strong bonds that extend beyond bloodlines. This art exhibition honors these support structures, relationships, connections, and friendships.”

“Familia” es una exhibición que honra a las comunidad LGBTQ con estructuras familiares no tradicionales.Habrá una exhibición de arte, pláticas de los artistas, poesía, y música en vivo. Entrada libre para el publico en general!

“‘Familia’ honra a las estructuras familiares de la comunidad LGBTQ. En la lucha por la identidad propia, muchas personas construyen nuevas familias. Estas familias son muy importantes y valiosas. Estas familias no son necesariamente de sangre o de tradición, sino por las conexiones que se establecen con las personas. Estos son vínculos fuertes que se extienden más allá de las líneas de sangre. Esta exposición de arte respeta estas estructuras de apoyo, relaciones, conexiones y amistades”.
