Tribute to the Queens

MEG member Louise Noakes' new show, Tribute to the Queens, went up on the walls at MEG on Monday and its already drawing people in with its bright colors and bold subject matter. Inspired by a single photo she took at a drag brunch she attended with her 17-year-old daughter, Louise photographed female impersonators in New York, Florida, Washington, DC and Germany. Now digitally transformed to resemble graphic illustrations, the images in Queens are Louise's homage to the hard-working performance artists she met along the way. 

The opening reception for Tribute to the Queens will be held Sunday,  July 1st, from 3-5 pm. Check back for more details -- you can bet it won't be a run-of-the-mill, ho-hum event!
