Major Queer Art Auction Features Peaches, Chappell Roan, and Chani Nicholas
Dozens of donated artworks, archival media, experiences, and collectibles that embody the queer canon are available through the second annual Queer | Art x Doll Invasion fundraiser exhibition.
As the age-old saying goes, one person's director-signed Paris is Burning (1990) film poster is another artist's future Queer|Art|Mentorship stipend.
Well, maybe that's not verbatim, but it's certainly true! The New York City-based nonprofit Queer|Art (QA) has launched its second annual auction exhibition of iconic LGBTQIA+ art and memorabilia in conjunction with the organization's Fire Island-based, transfem-powered fund-rager, Doll Invasion.
On view at Participant Inc. and Salma Sarriedine galleries on Elizabeth Street through Sunday, August 30, the exhibition consists of dozens of donated artworks, wearables, archival media, experiences, and collectibles that embody the queer canon. If you're one of the lucky ducks who'll be partying it up this coming weekend at Doll Invasion, you can still place bids online through Thursday, September 3.
The auction's proceeds will benefit the Queer|Art|Mentorship (QAM) program, which partners established LGBTQIA+ artists with emerging artists for 10 months of 1:1 artistic and professional development. QAM culminates in a week-long retreat and offers a $2,500 stipend to participating artists.
