Queer|Art|Mentorship has announced its eighth round of Mentors for the 2018-2019 Program cycle. The Mentors selected for the 2018-2019 program cycle represent a diverse and vibrant group of esteemed artists and curators whose work has made a tremendous impact across multiple sectors of the art world. Collectively, these individuals showcase a professional and cutting-edge approach to queer art production in New York City and beyond.

On December 4th, a full house packed the main theater at the IFC Center in Greenwich Village to celebrate Los Angeles-based painter and filmmaker Fair Brane who was announced by New York City-based non-profit Queer|Art as the winner of the first annual Barbara Hammer Lesbian Experimental Filmmaking Grant. The award was announced during a special edition of the acclaimed screening series Queer|Art|Film, organized by Hammer and Vanessa Haroutunian, Queer|Art Program Coordinator to recognize the visionary women filmmakers who have influenced Hammer’s prolific career.

“Summer of Resistance” is a very special season of Queer|Art|Film featuring films selected by activists and politically engaged collectives. In a time of political upheaval, our guests are individuals who refuse to be silent and complacent, and instead are committed to organizing and creating change for the communities they serve.

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. 

We just added a new feature to our website! On the top bar you can find a calendar of all upcoming Queer|Art sponsored events. Mark your calendars in advance for future QA meetups, film screenings, etc. If you'd also like to receive email notifications about upcoming events and news, please sign up for our mailing list here.
