Artist Amy Sherald To Be Honored

Amy Sherald artist & advocate will be honored at this year’s HRC National Dinner in Washington with the Ally for Equality Award for amplifying the existence & experiences of our community in her art. The sold-out 2025 HRC National Dinner takes place on Saturday September 13th at the Washington Hilton. Kelley Robinson HRC President stated, “Amy Sherald’s work brings to life the diversity, beauty & power of our community. Her talent, advocacy & bravery, in the face of cruel & politically motivated censorship, calls forward a vision of the American Dream that is not only inclusive, but celebrates the diversity of our beautiful community. We are so excited to honor her at this year’s National Dinner, as we work toward making LGBTQ+ stories, faces & voices an undeniable part of our country’s history and future. This night will be a moment to lift up the voices of our advocates, celebrate the beauty of our authentic selves & unite around a future where our community’s dreams know no limits. Amy Sherald concluded, “In the fight for social justice, art has served as a megaphone — it has been a place where dreams are held & a lens through which we can imagine a better, inclusive & more authentic world. Through my work, I seek to make visible the full, complex truth of American life. Transgender people, Black & Brown people, we are all part of the American identity. Attempts to erase our existence is not only futile, but a blatant disservice to the truth.” The National Dinner brings together HRC’s dedicated advocates, members & supporters across the country to raise crucial funds in the fight for LGBTQ equality.
