Queer|Art recently hosted our seventh annual Mock Panel series, inviting artists, curators, writers, editors, filmmakers, and grantmakers to offer insider tips on what makes an application stand out. Panelists shared advice for refining the most essential components of an application: the portfolio, artist statement, biography, and CV. What follows is a crash course in building out those key sections.
Zackary Drucker shares, “Intergenerational dialogue is crucial for our survival… This couldn’t be more clear in my creative relationship with Miranda.”
The legendary director is fighting anti-trans societal backlash through mentoring the next generation of LGBTQ+ storytellers.
Queer|Art will become trans-led for the first time as Programs and Operations Director Rio Sofia and Director of Development L Marmon become QA’s interim Co-Directors. Developed in close partnership with Staff and Board, this move towards a Co-Director model has been in progress for the last 18 months.
We’re feeling bittersweet and full in our hearts today as we celebrate Queer|Art’s beloved Executive Director Travis Chamberlain, who is taking on a new role as Director of Washington Project for the Arts (WPA) in Washington, DC. After more than six years guiding Queer|Art forward with great care, an open spirit, and a boundless sense of possibility, Travis will become the next director of one of the oldest alternative arts spaces in the country. WPA’s mission is dedicated to supporting project-based collaborations between artists and audiences. Travis begins at WPA full-time in September.
To celebrate Pride, 1stDibs—a leading online marketplace for extraordinary design—has tapped 2018-2019 QAM Mentor & Queer|Art Board President Nelson Santos to curate a gallery of works from the marketplace’s Pride collection. 15% of the final sales will benefit Queer|Art!
