The Queer Art Salon (QAS) was conceived to demonstrate that Queer visual artists exist in endless iterations and infinite forms. There is no single narrative or expected outcome. The artworks presented can be overtly related to the artist’s Queerness or subvert all expectations. Highlighting a broad spectrum of identities and artistic expressions, this exhibition celebrates the full range of the Queer experience–through what is included in the 2025 show, and most importantly, what perspectives may be uncovered or encouraged because of this supported public exhibition. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
