We are sending endless love to all today as we grieve the passing of Cecilia Gentili, our beloved Board member, organizer, advocate, storyteller, artist, Aquarius, mother, friend, mentor, and light in our community. In a word, she was everything. Though she officially joined our Board in 2021, her influence was deeply felt in Queer|Art long before then, and will continue to flourish for years to come.
The following resources are organized chronologically and include grants, fellowships, residencies, and other opportunities for artists with deadlines in January, February, and March.
We're very excited to share this news, and to have the brilliant and passionate Travis Chamberlain join the Queer|Art team as our new Managing Director. We've been working towards this day -- our first full-time staff hire -- since we became a fully recognized 501c3 non-profit organization in 2015, and it represents both the success of our 8 years in action, and our commitment to longevity for years and generations ahead.

Queer|Art|Mentorship has announced its sixth round of Fellows for the 2016-2017 Program cycle. Each Fellow accepted has been paired with an established New York-based artist within their field for a yearlong mentorship. The relationship that develops aims to support the artistic and professional practice of the Fellow, as well as to develop community-wide conversations about what it means to generate and curate queer work in New York City and America. Collectively, those selected represent a snapshot of a new generation of openly queer artists making work today.
Mark your calendar for an exciting upcoming season of Queer|Art|Film!
