Erie Art Gallery strives to bring together local, regional, and national art that promotes the widest variety of artistic expression, while activating space within the Erie City Downtown district.

EAG was closed in 2021 due to COVID-19. We have been working in the digital realms and partnering with other organizations to assist them in industry standards for Gallery curating, hanging, installing and digital solutions. Reach out for a quote: info@erieartcompany.com

lgbtq+ ArtShow

Sixteen LGBTQ artists were chosen to display works for the exhibit at Erie Art Gallery.

Mike Tkach was busy last week helping hang art at Erie Art Gallery for the inaugural LGBTQ Regional Juried Art Exhibit opening Saturday at the gallery at 24 W. Eighth St. Tkach said 16 LGBTQ artists were chosen to display one work each for the show. The chosen artwork includes painting, photography and mixed-media sculpture.

The show is hosted by the Greater Erie Alliance for Equality and members are busy cleaning and painting inside and out for the upcoming show. Tkach said some of the artists chosen are from Cleveland, Akron, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Erie.

The show’s two jurors are Sharon Louden, artistic director of visual arts at Chautauqua Institute, and Hrag Vartanian, who co-founded the art magazine Hyperallergic.

The Greater Erie Alliance for Equality (GEAE) would like to thank all the artists, our jurors, patrons, and the Erie community for making this first art exhibit a success.

Over 40 pieces were submitted and 15 were selected to represent the emerging voice of LGBTQ artists and three were chosen to receive an award to help propel their work even further.

The closing reception for the month-long event brought artists in from Cleveland and Chautauqua Institution, in addition to those right here in Erie.

A special thank you to Hrag Vartanian and Sharon Louden for jurying this show and exhibition. Your expertise and insightful comments encouraged new artists to continue their work and inspired established artists to reach ideas.

Congratulations to Gwen Singer, Paper Buck, Karen Bradfield for lending their incredible voices to this movement.
