A benefit exhibition at David Zwirner's Manhattan gallery aims to raise funds for the Ali Forney Center, a crucial organisation for LGBTQ+ youth.
The Ali Forney Center faces significant funding challenges due to federal government cuts and a shift in philanthropy, with a loss of over $400,000 from corporate sponsors alone.
The centre was founded in 2002 to honour Ali Forney, a 22-year-old queer individual who was murdered after being disowned by their parents.
The exhibition at David Zwirner's location on West 19th Street seeks to address the funding gap and support the centre's mission.
