MoMA and Museum of the City of New York launch LGBTQ teen programs

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York has launched Open Art Space, a weekly after-school program for LGBTQ teenagers who love art. Held every Thursday, the program is designed to create a protected space where teens can explore their identity through guided tours and art projects led by two rotating artists. Additionally, the Museum of the City of New York will host the LGBTQ Teen Summit on February 20, offering a day of sharing, creating, and learning about gender-related culture, history, and art. The summit includes guided tours of the exhibition 'Gay Gotham: Art and Underground Culture in New York,' featuring works by Andy Warhol and Robert Mapplethorpe, along with roundtables, workshops, performances, and labs. These initiatives reflect a progressive approach to supporting LGBTQ youth in New York despite the broader political climate under the Trump administration.
