Queer Art?

AxD gallery queer artists and gallery directors.


The Artists






I've been very fortunate this month to participate in Q Fest. Not only was my work in a fantastic group show, but my best friend Rae Drew also performed in the Queer Memoir Salon the other night. It was an intense night of queer writers being totally ballsy and telling all about they're experiences. The theme was Sticks and Stones. And as most anyone growing up as glbtq or even being in close relation to someone who is, sticks and stones can be quite prolific and extremely painful. These folks got on stage and told all and told it with pride. We got to hear about these painful experiences and at the end of each story or performance it seemed everyone came out of it just fine. The warm fuzzies were running rampid, but not in that Full House, cheesey kinda way. This was heart felt, genuine personal and spiritual growth.  It was a wonderful and empowering evening.
Unfortunately I haven't gotten pictures from the show yet, but I'm working on it.
Above, though are pictures from the Queer Art? show that I was in.
More to come!!
