OUTmusic on line art auction …
We would like to invite you to participate in OUTmusic’s first online art
auction to help raise much needed funds to continue the important work of
OUTmusic.
OUTmusic is a 501c3 non profit that Dan and I created in 1990 to bridge the
gap between mainstream and LGBTQ entertainment communities, by advocating
and working to ensure that these artists have equal presence in the
entertainment industry.
Please consider purchasing a piece of art (50 wonderful items on line) and help us continue to support
these important voices in the world of musical entertainment.
