This is not just another Pride event.
Hosted by renowned modern art gallery Albertz Benda in West Hollywood, "I ❤️ LA” is a group exhibition of contemporary queer art. “It is a gratitude letter, authored to acknowledge the historical, political lineage, and creative influences emerging out of shared kinship,” states and event press release.

The exhibition highlights explorations of sexuality and gender and showcases the diversity, resilience, and talent LGBTQ+ artists. The selected paintings, sculptures, and photographs capture queer life and sexuality in a raw yet delicately beautiful way.

Opening tonight on the eve of WeHo Pride, one of the largest Pride gatherings in the country, this exhibition hopes to provide some much-needed LGBTQ+ visibility during a time when our community continues to fight against erasure and exclusion.
This is the first exhibition of its kind for the Albertz Benda gallery, a rare and shining example of allyship by using its platform to so intentionally center queer artists during Pride.
