Art has the power to enlighten. …to tantalize. …to rally. …to heal.  With so few venues to showcase LGBTQ+ artists, exhibitions during San Diego Pride month are critical for the community. The art is an indicator of who we are in this moment. A touchstone of our extended identity.

There are two splendid group exhibitions featuring Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) artists taking place during San Diego Pride Month. Art of Pride and The Studio Door return with visual art exhibitions supporting LGBTQ artists and allies’ visual voices.

 

ART OF PRIDE • Pride: Together Again

Now in its 17th year, Art of Pride continues to showcase local artists at the San Diego Pride Offices. Art of Pride was founded to create civic and artistic spaces where LGBTQ artists can freely express themselves and have a venue for community members to enjoy their creativity. Typically located at the entrance of the Pride festival, this year’s exhibit will take place at the Pride Offices in North Park.

This year’s theme celebrates the spirit of our resilient LGBTQ community with proceeds benefiting the Art Resources Cooperative (ARC) to allow for future exhibitions.  Participating local artists include: Lu, Enjolie, Betty Bangs, Vanessa Dubois, Gary Dyak, Hervey Garcia, Michelle Germon, Chrystal Laman, Christy Ross, JP Schuiteman, Bama Art, Aries Tjhin, Thomas Tirado, Jerry Turner, Ricardo Vela and Tim Weedlun.

Exhibition Dates:    
June 18 – July 3, 2021
Reception:
Friday, July 9th from 6 – 9 PM

San Diego Pride Office
3620 30th Street – North Park

The Studio Door • PROUD+ 2021

Hillcrest’s premier art gallery and artist studios celebrates artists from across the nation with contemporary works celebrating diversity and Pride. The fourth edition of this exhibition continues its legacy of bringing a personal visual voice to the region’s Pride celebrations.

“I am delighted to be working with The Studio Door on the 4th Edition! There are so few opportunities like this and this is such a good one,” said Alexis Bard Johnson PhD, Curator of ONE Archives at the USC Libraries. Johnson juried the artist selections for The Studio Door’s PROUD+ exhibition. Founded in 1952, ONE Archives is considered one of the largest repositories of LGBTQ materials in the world.

Artists from 13 states and Prague are participating in the exhibition which includes both in person and online exhibitions. Guest artists Tom Acevedo and Hervey Garcia will be featured along with Joseph Abbati, Victor Adeniran, Kevin Bacher, Brandin Barón, Aurora Bewicke, Stephen Born, Kaline Carter, Maurice Cassidy, Lance Chang, Roy de Vries, Mike Dowley, David Dumo, Gamél, Hervey Garcia, Maz Ghani, Raymond Gilbert Jr, Jon Grass, Star Herrera, Sarah Kahle, John Kazanjian, Forrest Lawson, Chiyomi Longo, Mix Luera, William Moore, Todd Muffatti, Sheila Szilagyi-Noseworthy, Kryštof Novotný, Robert Olshansky, Michael Osborne, Gabriel John Poucher, Devon Reiffer, Danne Sadler, Carmine Santaniello, Evan Scoggins, Ian Shearer, Tim Stockton, Stefan Talian, Noah S. Thompson, Kendra VanAllen, John Waiblinger, and Tim Weedlun.

The gallery would like to remind everyone to be wary of online ticket scalpers for public events. The Studio Door’s receptions are open free to the community. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from Noon to 7 PM.  The gallery encourages that the best way to support exhibiting artists is by purchasing their art.

Exhibition Dates: 
July 1 – July 30, 2021
Preview:
Thursday, July 1 from 5 – 10 PM during Walk in A.R.T.

The Devil is alive in the United States, and it li The Devil is alive in the United States, and it lives in right wing, Republican driven state legislators. According to an article written by Matt Loffman for PBS, the Human Rights Campaign has identified 30 state legislators who proposed more than 115 bills targeting Transgender, Gender Non-Conforming, and Non-Binary rights in their states. Everything from participation in sports to accessing medical care has been attacked. According to a poll conducted by PBS NewsHour/NPR/Marist fewer than 3 in 10 people support any anti-Trans legislation, yet the Republic legislators continue to introduce and vote for all of them. It is hard to understand why these Republicans are voted into office over and over when they obviously do not reflect the wishes of their constituents. click link to read more
