Stephen Altena: Everything Was So Pretty
“Everything Was So Pretty is about looking at the world and all of its beautiful things through the eyes of a child. The work in this exhibition gives voice to that little skinny gay boy (who I think still lives inside me) who was too effeminate, too weak, and too other. This is a place for him and anyone else who wants to share in the delight, prettiness, and whimsy.” - Stephen Altena, artist In celebration of Stephen Altena’s solo exhibition Everything Was So Pretty (March 29-June 14, 2025 at the Preston Gallery), explore this collection of Young Adult LGBTQ2S+ coming-of-age novels.
