'Bisexual Women' an art exhibit created by bisexual women February 15, 2006

There will be an exhibition of art created by bisexual women at the Campbell Soady Gallery located at New York City's LGBT Community Center located at 208 West 13th Street, New York, NY 10011 running from 16 February 2006 through 15 May 2006.

The Opening Reception which is free and open to the public will be held on Thursday, 16 February 2006 from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM.

Bisexual women are perhaps the most under-represented, yet most talked about, population within the LGBT community. Many people seem to have an opinion about them, yet bisexual women are rarely viewed as being in the forefront of queer politics and culture.

Living in both the gay world and the straight world, many are pushed to closet their identities by both gays and straights, but some brave women choose to live their lives openly, and seek to express this dichotomy in their artwork.

This important exhibition is comprised of photographs which portray these bisexual women's longing for other women, lesbian relationships, and their views of queer life in the city.

Exhibiting artists include Dulcie Canton, Lucille Lacey, Joanna Marzullo, and Kendra Thomas.

The exhibition is sponsored by The Bisexual Women's Group which has been meeting at the LGBT Community Center since 1991. Geared towards the specific needs of bisexual women, this group provides community-building and organizing, networking and support for women.
