Artists also include the multifaceted Davina Cohen, dirty gay boy Mathew Heggem, and a piercing installation by Boston-based XRAY.

The showcase will featuring vocalist, composer, and performance artist Charlie Demos: He is a fixture in the New York City underground queer music scene blending a new sound of electronic and dark synth with emotional and provoking performance art pieces when he takes the stage. He is also a resident artist with several top-tier burlesque shows such as Auralfixia and Cabaret Cataplexy.

Queer Art Impact explores the conversation between politics, art and action. This New York City-based initiative is intended to bring together individuals and organizations who self-identify their body of work as queer. By supporting artists whose works challenge the hetero-normative, QAI seeks to embrace queerness and create opportunities for all artists - living in the political and social fringe - to move to the center. QAI is co-owned and operated by Mathew Heggem and Shalonda Ingram.
