Pride in the Collection

Join the Erie Art Museum on Saturday, June 6, 2026 from 5–7 PM for Pride in the Collection, an inaugural annual evening reception celebrating LGBTQ+ artists in our permanent collection and community. The event features curated works spanning almost 80 years—including pieces by Paul Cadmus, David Hockney, and Andy Warhol—alongside new work by student artists from Gannon, Penn State Behrend, Allegheny, and PennWest Edinboro.
Guests will enjoy live music by LGBTQ+ performers, creative cocktails, and light bites in an evening that honors the past, celebrates the present, and looks ahead to a growing tradition.
