Alyssa Nitchun, Executive Director at Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art, shared, “As the Museum continues to bring its vision beyond the gallery walls and work with artists across creative disciplines, we are excited to partner with our neighbors Travis Taddeo. Our Pride collaboration was dreamed up in the spirit of friendship, community, and the power of queer creativity.”
Travis Taddeo, continues, “This Pride, having the privilege of creating with my peers in our community brings a sense of strength and limitless freedom. Individual expression is so important to our growth – it inspires and lights the way to our future.”
