Queer Art Now

This Pride Month, we’re spotlighting 30 LGBTQ+ artists who meet the moment. Spanning mediums, career stages, and styles, these artists explore tenderness and the queer body, foreground lived experiences and queer cultural heritage, and envision alternative futures.

Nominated by fellow artists, curators, and tastemakers, these voices represent the vitality and breadth of queer art today. Below, you can read about each artist and discover curator Gemma Rolls-Bentley’s essay exploring key themes in their practices. You can also browse a collection of available artworks and follow along on Instagram as we highlight one artist each day, all month long.
