Queer-Art

Queer art mentorship is an intergenerational mentorship program that supports a year-long exchange between emerging and established artists working in film, literature, performance, visual art, and curatorial practice. The program supports, on average, 10 new mentor/fellow pairs each year and culminates in an annual exhibition.

Queer art awards is an initiative of grants, prizes, and residencies that includes a spectrum of support-monetary and otherwise-for lgbtq artists. It includes the annual queer art prize awards and a growing number of individual grants, such as the barbara hammer lesbian experimental filmaking grant and giving circle relief.

Queer art presents focuses on audience development for lgbtq artists through public presentations organized in partnership with co-presenting venues. Queer art mentorship artists and alumni are spotlit through an array of intergenerational and cross-disciplinary offerings including film screenings, readings, performances, and exhibitions.
