The Haight Street Art Center is now showing "Queer Visions," an exhibition that brings together LGBTQ+ artists and institutions to explore the role of nightlife in the creation of the queer community in San Francisco.
Anchored by a display of pinbacks from the Stud Archive, the exhibition looks at iconic taverns and gathering places in the city that have provided haven and joy for the queer community since the 1960s, a news release stated.
The exhibit also includes work by young queer artists considering the role of their queer families and role models in their sense of self.
