Curated by Hizze Fletcher from Thirteen Art Productions, this unique exhibition will feature an eclectic mix of new work by fine artists from the LGBTQ community (and their supporters ) including Boy George, Sadie Lee, Kitty Finegan, Dave Pop, Billy Chainsaw, Michelle Mindenhall, Romany Mark Bruce and many more.

Reflecting on how lucky we are in the UK to have the freedom to be who we are, Freedom To Live will be a strong visual voice for those in countries less fortunate than ourselves, standing beside those communities tied down and held back by injustice.

Boy George and his marketing director, Bob Fierro, have donated one of the original screenprints of “PUNK BETTE” by Boy George, Richard Duardo and Germizm to the Freedom to Live Exhibition which will launch Brighton Pride’s Arts & Film Festival with a private view on Thursday July 17 at Jubilee Library.

The artwork will be auctioned at the event hosted by Dolly Rocket and will be on display for the duration of the exhibition.

Profits from the event itself will be donated to Pride and their charity The Rainbow Fund.
