Good morning, and happy Pride Month for the next 25 days — though if you ask artist Linda Mussmann, the true essence of queer joy and celebration is found in advocating for policy that protects LGBTQ+ rights. In the latest installment of our monthlong interview series, Mussmann talks to Elaine Velie about her historic same-sex marriage, the changing faces of Hudson, and why “the parade is over.” More below, including a visit to Greenpoint Open Studios, the latest on the UArts closure fiasco, and our list of exhibitions to see in New York City this June, from Pacita Abad to Nona Faustine. Bonus: All these venues appear to be air conditioned. If you like what you see here, please consider supporting Hyperallergic’s work by purchasing a membership for as little as $8 a month, the cost of 1/15th of a sandwich at an art fair. (See? We’ve even got jokes!) — Valentina Di Liscia, News Editor
