Alan Cumming at the Pierro Gallery — Opening Night August 26th, 6-9pm

25 Years of Fearless Fame, Fluidity & Fierceness.

Free and fabulous.

Join us from 6–9PM for the opening night of this unforgettable 25-year retrospective featuring the iconic Alan Cumming, as seen through the lens of acclaimed photographer and South Orange resident Steve Vaccariello.

Cumming of Age is a celebratory subversion — a visual and emotional journey through Alan’s raw charisma, bold queerness, and theatrical rebellion. From stage to screen to sheer spectacle, it’s a life lived at full volume.

Proceeds from this show will be donated to @translifeline, a grassroots hotline and non-profit offering direct emotional and financial support to trans people in crisis — for the trans community, by the trans community.

Be loud. Be proud. Be there.

Pierro Gallery, 5 Mead St, South Orange
