AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

The Mayor's Office and The Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) are proud supporters of the second annual Los Angeles 2012 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Heritage Month Celebration. This celebration will promote and encourage an awareness of the significant contributions made by our City's LGBT community members in culture, education, politics, business, entertainment, technology, and the arts.

As part of this celebration we are creating the first comprehensive Los Angeles LGBT Heritage Month Calendar and Cultural Guide showcasing quality LGBT artists from across Los Angeles and listing the numerous events, exhibitions, lectures, festivals, and cultural programs related to this celebration of LGBT culture.

friends, our relationship was getting worn out. [...] We didn’t explain you

remake the peace?”

(Pope Paul VI, Speech to Artists, 10-12).
