VSDC LGBTQ+ Brunch & Basquiat

Please join your fellow LGBTQ+ vegans or veg-curious folks to see some art and have a meal together at this [Veg Society of DC](vsdc.org) event!

Since folks enjoyed the last museum visit, let's do another one. [Jean-Michel Basquiat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Michel_Basquiat) is thought to have been bi, and there is an exhibit of one of his pieces in the [Basquiat x Banksy](https://hirshhorn.si.edu/exhibitions/basquiat-x-banksy/) exhibit at the Hirshhorn Museum that we can catch before it closes. And, Fruitive is not far from the Hirshhorn and it has lots of great [vegan brunch items ](https://fruitive.com/menu)available. After touring the museum, if the weather cooperates, we might also be able to take a wander around the sculpture garden outside of the Hirshhorn.

If you want to skip the brunch portion of the event and just meet the group at the museum, that's fine. Please just drop a comment if that's your plan. I'll also try to keep the event comments updated with the timing for when we'll be walking over to the museum from the restaurant, but I'm guessing that will be about noonish.

This event will proceed in the rain, unless it is severe weather, and in that instance, an important comment will be posted to this event page.
