Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, & Transgender Community Outreach
Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens is proud to welcome the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender community. Hillwood's exquisite décor, gracious staff, personal touch and world-renowned collection of imperial Russian and 18th-century French decorative arts—not to mention 13 acres of enchanting formal gardens—make a visit to Hillwood unlike any other estate, museum or garden experience.
In 2001, we formed an advisory committee comprised of leaders from Washington's GLBT community, including the Mayor's Office on GLBT Affairs, to welcome members of this community. The committee meets with Hillwood staff on a quarterly basis to advise and support Hillwood's outreach through public programming, marketing and community partnerships.
These efforts have resulted in significant partnerships with One in Ten, Rainbow Families and the Lesbian & Gay Chorus of Washington DC. We also participated in Black Pride, Capital Pride, and Baltimore Pride. Thanks to all of you who visited our booth and registered for our e-newsletter!
