Gallery Reception at Collective Z
Join our friends from the Intercollegiate Alumni Network for a group show "The Ordinary".
Collective Z opened on the Lower East Side in early 2026, following founder Alex Z. Wang's conviction that artists who most deserve to be seen are rarely the ones the market already celebrates.
At this intimate and welcoming gallery, "The Ordinary" starts with the premise that being queer is ordinary, in the sense that it requires no justification and no special occasion. The works included carry a quality of certainty as they engage with queer experience from the artists' unmistakable perspectives.
All friends from all alma maters are welcome to attend.
Special thanks to Alex Z. Wang and Shawn Cowls of Queer Princeton Alumni for organizing, co-hosted by ARC Notre Dame, Brown Alumni Pride Association, Columbia Pride, Cornell Pride, Dartmouth GALA, HGSC, Mount Holyoke Lyon's Pride, NYU LGBTQ+ Alumni Network, Oxford Pride, Penn GALA, Stanford Pride, UChicago Alumni PRIDE and U-Michigan LGBTQ.
