Art in Conversation is a bi-monthly series at the BMA where curators, museum professionals, and other special guests lead conversations on art and culture. In the latest rotation in our American Gallery, we feature works highlighting LGBTQ+ life given to the BMA’s collection by donor Patrick Cather. Join Dr. Katelyn Crawford, The William Cary Hulsey Curator of American Art, and the BMA’s Librarian & Archivist, Laura Woodard, for an in-depth look at this rotation and its enhancement to the BMA’s collection plan.
