Gallery exhibit explores LGBTQ+ support networks

Exhibit features art from two organizations supporting LGBTQ+ youth

MVR 1250 Gallery will host an art exhibit honoring the "found" family of LGBTQ+ youth from across New York State. The exhibit, titled "Our People, Our Stories: Celebrating LGBTQ+ Chosen Family", runs through Dec. 1 and is part of a larger community-based participatory research project led by Adam Hoffman, assistant professor of psychology.

The art, created by youth from The Ali Forney Center in New York City and The Q Center in Syracuse, pays homage to their chosen families - people not related to them biologically but who offer support and guidance they may not receive from their family of origin.
