ART+ LGBT HISTORY MONTH is a national exhibition and series of presentations by and for the LGBTQ+ community running October 3 - November 2, 2024 produced by The Studio Door during Natinoal LGBT History Month.

Collaborators include artist RD Riccoboni, Lambda Archives San Diego and podcaster Mike Bammer (Bammer47).

The convergence of art and history holds a profound power. Together they create a tapestry of culture that reflects the complexities of society, politics and personal stories. Experience the LGBTQ+ community from a different perspective in the inaugural ART+ LGBT History Month program produced by The Studio Door.

The two-part project features a month-long contemporary exhibition of local artworks and a one-day presentation of guest speakers followed by a gallery reception with participants.

Walk in ART is a monthly event hosted in Hillcrest in Mural Alley (South of University between 4th and 5th St) directly behind The Studio Door art gallery and studios. Expect a night filled with lively entertainment, art, food, and music in and around Mural Alley. Mural Alley is a classic urban alley that has been fully transformed and adopted by muralists. Walk in ART features unique vendors, creative food offerings with a range of delicious dishes, music, and surprise performances. Collaboration with Hillcrest Business Association.

Gallery is open until 9 PM while the party in the alley goes until 10 PM.
