The Faerie Playhouse Celebrates JB Harter for LGBTQ+ History Month

The second video in our series with Quinn Bishop focuses on the life of JB “Burt” Harter, a New Orleans artist who captured images of gay men during the AIDS crisis.

The Faerie Playhouse is home to the largest private collection of JB Harter paintings - read more about our extensive art collection here.

Harter’s cremains are in the Faerie Playhouse Memorial Garden. More videos exploring the stories of the activists, artists, and community members at rest in the Memorial Garden are coming soon.

Many thanks to the JB Harter Foundation for supporting this video series!
