Big Brothers at SPARC: A Celebration of Historic Gay Bars in Los Angeles
Join us for “Big Brothers at SPARC,” an evening of poetry, music, and drinks in the Durón Gallery in celebration of historic gay bars in Los Angeles! This event is inspired by our current gallery exhibition: Tomboys by Christina Schlesinger. Tomboys features a vibrant collection of artworks that examine intersections between gender, identity, fashion, sex, and representation. The exhibition debuts a slideshow of photographs Schlesinger took in local gay and lesbian bars in the 1970s, including Big Brothers on West Washington, now known as Abbot Kinney Boulevard. To celebrate Schlesinger's work and the history that inspired it, we are bringing the spirit of LA's historic gay bars into our gallery. Come by and listen to poetry readings performed by womxn-identifying poets, enjoy music and drinks from our open beer-and wine bar, and learn more about the Tomboys exhibition from the artist herself!
