The Great American Lesbian Art Show, which opened at the Woman's Building in Los Angeles in May 1980, was conceived to increase visibility for lesbian artists, and to forge bonds among lesbians across the United States. It comprised a curated Invitational of ten artists and scores of regional GALAS events mounted simultaneously by women from Boston to Honolulu. The art on view, documented in a slide archive, staged a critique of contemporary gender norms. Participating artists represented lesbian identities that claimed universality while they reflected the artists' particularized experience of woman-identification and sexual desire.
1980年5月在洛杉矶妇女大楼开幕的“伟大的美国女同性恋艺术展”，旨在提高女同性恋艺术家的知名度，并在美国各地的女同性恋者之间建立联系。它包括一场由十位艺术家组成的特邀展览，以及从波士顿到檀香山的女性同时举办的数十场地区性GALAS活动。展览中的艺术作品记录在一个幻灯片档案中，对当代性别规范进行了批判。参展艺术家所代表的女同性恋身份既具有普遍性，又反映了艺术家在女性认同和性欲方面的独特经历。
