Queer|Art|Pride is an annual showcase of recently completed work by alumni of the Queer|Art|Mentorship program, which provides a year-long immersion in creative and professional development for LGBTQ artists, nurturing exchange between early-career and advanced-career artists in fields of Film, Literature, Performance, Visual Art, and Curatorial Practice. Going into its eighth year, Queer|Art|Mentorship has graduated 69 Fellows, with 59 Mentors, producing a diverse and vibrant community of filmmakers, writers, performers, curators, and visual artists. The Queer|Art|Pride program at Wythe Hotel spotlights a broad range of work in each of the fields represented by these practices.

"Queer|Art|Pride" is curated by Queer|Art's Travis Chamberlain (Managing Director) and Vanessa Haroutunian (Program Coordinator).
