Description
For gay men who remember San Francisco's South of Market Scene scene in the 1960s and 70s, Chuck Arnett's large-scale painted murals that adorned iconic gay bars like the Stud, the Tool Box, and the Detour, provided the backdrop for an era. Arnett, who would have turned 80 this month, is the subject of an ongoing exhibit in the galleries of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Transgender (GLBT) Historical Society. The exhibit, entitled "Lautrec in Leather: Chuck Arnett and the San Francisco Scene, A Retrospective," is the first-ever retrospective of Arnett's artwork.On Thursday March 13, from 6pm - 8pm, the GLBT Historical Society will present a free, public program entitled "Remembering Chuck Arnett and the South of Market Scene of the 1960s and 70s." Attendees will be able to view the retrospective and will be able to record short video interviews to share their own memories of Chuck Arnett and the South of Market scene that he chronicled in his art.
