Ah, Sunday afternoons in the Big Apple. For many New Yorkers, they pretty much mean one thing: brunch. But let's face it, there is more to this putative day of rest than Eggs Benedict and Bloody Marys. There is gay art, for example -- lots of it too, if you know where to look. The place to scout for it this Sunday is at The Painted Boy Gay Art Fair, taking place on the entire third floor of New York's renowned LGBT Center on West 13th Street. The show features more than 5,000 "unambiguously gay" artworks from a select group of emerging and established international artists, such as Russian-born Artur Pashkov (pictured). Part of the proceeds will benefit the LGBT Community Center.
According to the fair's organizers, the works on display (and for sale) range in expression from a "whisper of magnetic charm" to a "hurricane of raw sensuality." Are you taking notes, Adam Lambert?
