Greetings!
We are underway with the planning of all the exciting programs and exhibitions we have coming to you for the 60th Anniversary of ONE. Stay tuned for more details on our first event coming up in October featuring dramatic readings of letters written to the original ONE Magazine, the first openly gay publication in the United States.
Our latest exhibition, Latent Images, opened at the ONE Gallery with great press coverage and a wonderful turnout. Check out more info on this exhibition, including a walkthrough with the curator, in the columns below. Our August Culture Series with long time activist Dottie Wine is coming up on August 19th. Hope to see you there!
