Eulogy for the Dyke Bar

In 2015, Chicago-based artist Macon Reed featured her installation art "Eulogy for the Dyke Bar" at Wayfarers. Composed of cardboard, plaster, and wood, it was a life-size depiction of a gay bar representing the declining phenomenon of the LGBT community. In March 2016, the exhibition was again featured in the Pulse Contemporary Art Fair.[2]

Wayfarers has exhibited local and national artists including John Orth, Macon Reed, Christy Gast, David (Scout) McQueen, Hiroki Otsuka, Serra Victoria Bothwell Fels, Ryan Crowley, Charlotte Evans, and many more.
