Benham Gallery Vandalized

Last week, Benham Gallery in downtown Seattle was vandalized. The current exhibition, "Erotic Beauty," a daring exhibit that includes photographs of transgender woman and gay men, has presumably been the target of a hate-crime.

Gallery owner Marita Holdaway says it best on a note placed on the broken window:

"We believe our window was smashed by a person who was challenged by the
content of this exhibition.

The subjects of these artworks have experienced enough of this kind of
cowardliness and violence.

We are happy to discuss our curatorial decisions with anyone who wishes to
talk with us instead of experiencing this kind of behavior.

Happy Easter!"

Show your support of Benham and the artists in the exhibition by visiting the gallery and viewing this exhibition during the remainder of its run! For more information, visit the Benham Gallery website.
