After being delayed for 2 months due to our temporary building closure, "Queer Pasts/Queer Futures: 19th Annual Juried Art Exhibition" features 38 LGBTQ artists from across the Philadelphia region selected by our juror Gabriel Martinez. The theme, "Queer Pasts/Queer Futures," seems especially timely given our curent political climate. Perhaps more than any of our other exhibitions, our Annual Juried Art Exhibition celebrates the incredible variety of our creative practices and fosters community.
