CHICAGO--Nearly 200 members and allies of the LGBTQI+ Alliance of the AIA Chicago chapter gathered last Thursday at the Eggersmann showroom in River North for an evening of cocktails, canapés, and queer art. Between bites of Mediterranean-inspired hors d'oeuvres and specially crafted mai tais, guests perused the paintings, sculptures, and performance pieces from local artists—many of whom are part of the LGBTQI+ community. Several black-and-white works by renowned photographer
Doug Birkenheuer were on display, as well as
Rick Sindt’s expressive and sensual graphite drawings. Both Birkenheuer and Sindt were in attendance at the event, as were fellow artists
Michael Van Zyel and
Garek. [
