In “Song of Myself,” Walt Whitman rejected conventions of uniform identity, famously declaring, “I contain multitudes.” Our second-annual LGBTQ & Friends party takes inspiration from this queer icon to celebrate the multiplicity of individuality and the true diversity of the LGBTQ+ community.

Enjoy live music, curator talks, a complimentary wine bar, after-hours access to our exhibitions, and special spoken word performances curated by Nuyorican Poets Cafe in J. Pierpont Morgan’s Library.

This evening event is held conjunction with World Pride Week, the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, and the exhibition Walt Whitman Bard of Democracy.

Tickets: $30; $25 Morgan Members
