Of a Certain Age: Stories of Gay Male Elders in the Hudson Valley

“Of A Certain Age – Stories of Gay Male Elders in the Hudson Valley” is community-based photography project that explores and celebrates the lives of gay men over 50 – a generation who have lived through the AIDS epidemic and have also been part of the progress of LGBTQ+ rights and visibility in our country over the past 50 years.

Through environmental portraits and video interviews, this project offered men the opportunity to share stories and reflect upon their experiences in a video interview. Text from those interviews will be incorporated with the environmental portraits, giving viewers another layer of each man’s history.

Artist Stephen Honicki will deliver a presentation of this project, followed by a reception with light refreshments.

This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by Arts Mid-Hudson.
