Mark your calendar for two new exhibits opening at the Iridian Gallery at Diversity Richmond on Friday, Jan. 12. There will be an opening reception for the exhibitions from 7 to 9 p.m.

“FREE PLAY!” is a series of video games made by queer artists and developers. The games explore the idea of queerness through narrative and mechanics.

“The Aftermath” is a solo exhibition from local painter Justice Dwight. Their acrylic and glitter paintings take inspiration from Ballroom and House culture.

Both exhibits will remain on display until Feb. 23. The gallery is open every day from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.
