The Queer|Art Community Portrait Project is an annual commission of digital portraits, celebrating artists who are part of our diverse and vibrant community. Over time, the project charts nuances of generational and personal growth within the community—as many artists return and new artists are welcomed into the mix—all seen through the lens of a different photographer each year.

This year's edition was photographed by Golden, the winner of the 2023 Illuminations Grant for Black Trans Women. Golden built collaborative portraits with various members of the QA community in spaces of domestic comfort, creative production, and personal significance. Whether the photoshoot took place in an apartment, studio, workplace, exhibition, or a local park, this sprawling project recognizes that home is a place that extends beyond brick and bone.

After recent government funding was abruptly rescinded, we're turning to our community to help us finish this project! As we gear up to mount an exhibition of Golden's beautiful portraits during Pride month, we need all hands on deck to raise the funds needed to bring the show to life. All contributions—no matter the size—will go a long way to supporting our exhibition...

$50 will cover material support
$100 will cover the printing of 1 large format photo
$150 will cover 1 standard size frame
$200 will cover 1 large format frame

As always, please spread the word and share our campaign. We're grateful to everyone who's already supported our ongoing mission, and those who will continue to stand with us in moments of hardship!
