Arts & Culture

As part of our mission to expand our Arts & Culture offerings, the SF LGBT Center’s new Cultural Programs department will encompass visual, literary, and performance arts, as well as cultural events and civic engagement at the Center and within our local community spaces.

Current programs include our pillar concert series Queer Vibes, art exhibits, film screenings, and Vibin’ Live.

The Center offers a stimulating environment where LGBTQ+ artists can display or perform their work, share cultural traditions with the community, and tell their uniquely diverse stories.

The Gallery
Our exhibition space is a purpose-built ground-floor gallery adjacent to our lobby dedicated to showing the work of established and emerging artists. In addition to walk-through traffic, we also host gallery events to increase community engagement with the arts. 

The Rainbow Room
A 2,300 square foot multipurpose room that has held theater performances, storytelling and spoken word events, comedy shows, and film screenings.

Queer Vibes and Vibin’ Live are pillar Center arts & culture program that serves as a platform to showcase budding local LGBTQ+ singers, bands, and spoken word artists. The program showcases a new local LGBTQ+ artist monthly through a virtual performance spotlighting their musical artistry.

With each performance, audiences will discover new talent coming right out of the heart and soul of our community!
