July 02, 2024

Today we remember artist Audrey Flack, a groundbreaking photorealist, who died last Friday at age 93. I also recommend you listen to our podcast interview with the artist in 2021.

Also, read our reports from the NYC Pride March and Dyke March, where things got heated over Gaza. And don't forget to check out our guide for indoor and outdoor shows to see around the city this summer.

There’s more, including an interview with Buffalo-based trans artist and activist Ari Moore (who served as a police officer for 25 years), this month’s Art Crossword, and our Opportunities listings.
