The First Thursday reception June 1 was packed with people who came out to see some art by queer artists. But the jam- packed feel of the event might have had more to do with the limited space for the show than the teeming crowd. While past themed City Hall art shows, includ ing the African-American group show in March, have utilized the office spaces of Commissioners Sam Adams, Erik Sten, Dan Saltzman and Randy Leonard, the Pride Month art show is only avail able for view in Adams’ office. The show was originally slated to appear in the offices of Adams and Sten. According to Sten, there was a miscommunication between his and Adams’ staff, which left people scrambling the day before the show. “It was something that slipped through the cracks.” Sten said that his staff offered to consolidate the previous month’s show to make space for the new art but that the Pride Month artists chose to keep their work together. In response to any feelings that queer artists were unduly slighted, Sten said he “feels apologetic and that it was not our intention in any way.” “The queer community does suffer a lot of discrimination,” said Sten, “but I don’t think that’s what happened here.” According to David Gonzalez, acting chief of staff and operations manager for Adams, it is typical to have some commissioners participate in a community-group show and others arrange to show their own artists. Saltzman said his office selects local artists and curates its own shows. “We definitely support the themed events, but we just choose our own artists.” Saltzman said his office has “quite a backlog of artists” from before the community-group shows began this year. According to Sara Petrocine, Leonard’s office manager, his office had also previously committed to another artist for June. “We did not schedule him to avoid participating in the month’s theme. 1 did inform our artist of the month’s theme, and
