“In celebration of Gay Games VII, the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum, the only Latino museum accredited by the American Association of Museums, joined with other Latin agencies to sponsor a welcome reception for Latino athletes at the Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Randolph. More than 200 attendees represented the distinct cities and countries at the Gay Games this year.

The Mexican Fine Arts Museum is a major sponsor of Gay Games VII. The museum, located in Pilsen, has contributed over $50,000 in resources. Jorge Valvivia, director of performing arts, explains, “It was the museum’s idea to do an event to welcome all the Latino gay lesbian, bisexual and transgendered athletes coming to Chicago … Carlos Rortolero, the president of the museum, asked me to approach the Gay Games. We were the first museum on an international level to step up the plate and sign on and become an official sponsor.””
