Figge Art Museum in Davenport, Iowa, is hosting a free Pride Month film series every Thursday in June from 5 to 8 p.m. The lineup includes four award-winning films: *Rent* (June 4), *Dallas Buyers Club* (June 11), *Paris is Burning* (June 18), and *Angels in America* (June 25). Each evening will feature guest hosts from the community introducing the film, live music in the Figge Cafe, and the series connects to the museum's current Felix Gonzalez-Torres exhibition.
This matters because it demonstrates how a regional art museum is using film programming to engage its community around LGBTQ+ Pride Month, while linking the screenings to a contemporary art exhibition. By offering free admission and live music, the Figge makes art and culture accessible to a broad audience, reinforcing the role of museums as inclusive community spaces.
