'TWO LOVES'

The Kymara Gallery in Biddeford presents "Two Loves -- Sex, Art, and the Love that Dare not Speak its Name." It opens with a reception from 7 to 10 p.m. Friday and will remain on view through the end of the year.

The exhibition is presented in partnership with the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art in New York City. The exhibition includes selections from the museum's permanent collection of original paintings, sculpture and photography ranging from the years 1650 to 2010.

On view will be works by Andy Warhol and Keith Haring, as well as a selection of prints by Maine native Robert W. Richards.

Portland's VJ Foo will provide music at Friday's opening.

The Kymara Gallery is in the North Dam Mill, 2 Main St., Building 17, Suite 220, in Biddeford. Gallery hours are noon to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday and by appointment. For information, call 286-7399.
