Don Hershman: Doctor and Fine Artist

The work of artist Don Hershman has returned to the walls of Salomon Arts Gallery in Tribeca, this time centered around the idea of code switching, which Hershman experienced as a gay man living in the American South in the 1980s while completing his medical residency. That's right, on top of being a fine artist, Hershman is also a trained doctor, and still works as a podiatric surgeon in San Francisco. The Art of Code Switching is on view through October 15, and 10% of the proceeds of the show's sales will be donated to The Trevor Project, which support suicide prevention efforts among LGBTQ+ youth.

EVENT: The gallery will be hosting an Artist Talk open to the public on October 12, when Hershman will be in conversation with Anthony Haden Guest.
