Drawing on the meaning of arcana—hidden and mystical knowledge—the exhibition considers how queer artists have turned to obscure spiritual practices as sources of connection and transformation. These artists engage magic as a way to envision worlds beyond repressive systems, reclaim sexuality as a sacred power, and build community. The works on view reflect a wide range of spiritual traditions and practices, including Western occultism, witchcraft and goddess worship, Christian mysticism, New Age beliefs influenced by Eastern philosophies, and shamanic traditions rooted in Indigenous knowledge. Many artists explore and combine diverse traditions, constructing through their work idiosyncratic and intricate worlds. As articulated by the queer Chicana poet and theorist Gloria Anzaldúa, “spirituality is a source of sustenance, a way of knowing, a path of survival.” A Queer Arcana highlights how magical and alternative spiritual practices have been ever-present within queer culture and LGBTQ+ struggles for liberation, even when their significance has been obscured from dominant historical accounts.Artists in A Queer Arcana include: Carlos Alfonzo, Steven Arnold, Nancy Azara, Judy Baca, Elijah Burgher, Nao Bustamante, Cameron, Jayne County, Tee A. Corrine, Frances Salomé España, Russell FitzGerald, Edgar Fabián Frías, Tamara Gonzales, Marsden Hartley, Sadao Hasegawa, Richard Hawkins, Clarity Haynes, Sergio Hernández Francés, Hilma’s Ghost

Founded in 1955 in New York City’s Greenwich Village, the Voice reported on daily life and urban strife in the US’s largest city, investigated the rich and the powerful, and covered vibrant alternative theater, music, and art scenes. Contributors to the Voice often eschewed formal journalism for more radical and personal forms of expression, whether in writing, illustration, or photography. The exhibition assembles works by 48 photographers who contributed to the Voice. The exhibition highlights the paper’s first staff photographer, Fred W. McDarrah, who covered the American counterculture of the 1950s and 60s. Photographers who came to the Voice in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, including Amy Arbus, James Hamilton, Hiroyuki Ito, and Sylvia Plachy, developed their work through their association with the paper, propelling their careers and distinct artistic visions. The exhibition reveals how photography was an integral part of the paper’s spirited outlook on New York and American culture.Find more information about this exhibition here. American Bohemia: The Photographic Legacy of the Village Voice is guest curated by Thomas McGovern, photographer and contributor to the Village Voice, and David Evans Frantz, independent curator. The exhibition was made possible with support from an anonymous donor, Canon USA, and Freestyle Photo Supply. Programs at UCR ARTS are supported by the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences at UCR and by the City of Riverside.

Ondine Chavoya Vincent Price Art MuseumOctober 21, 2023 – February 17, 2024 Williams College Museum of ArtAugust 23 – December 22, 2024 The Contemporary AustinSeptember 12, 2025 – January 11, 2026El Museo del Barrio September 10, 2026 – January 10, 2027 Teddy Sandoval and the Butch Gardens School of Art is the first museum retrospective dedicated to the inventive though overlooked artist Teddy Sandoval (1949–1995). A central figure in Los Angeles’s queer and Chicanx artistic circles, Sandoval was an active participant in both U.S. and international avant-garde movements. For twenty-five years, he produced subversive, yet playful artworks that explored the codes of gender and sexuality and continuously mined archetypes of masculinity in his work through his signature icon of a faceless man, often sporting a mustache. This expansive survey assembles works by the artist across many media, with particular attention on his printmaking, drawings, mail art, and xerography. The exhibition's title highlights the faux institution and artistic persona that Sandoval named after Butch Gardens, a gay bar in Los Angeles during the early 1970s that was frequented by the artist and other Chicanx clientele. He utilized this imprint to distribute his artworks and organize exhibitions with friends and collaborators. While the “school” designation invokes a group, the Butch Gardens School of Art only had one member: Sandoval. In the spirit of collectivity suggested by the "school of art," this exhibition includes works by other queer, Latinx, and Latin American artists who share similar graphic sensibilities, approaches to media, or thematic interests. The exhibition proposes an alternative model for the solo survey that incorporates unanticipated affinities and parallel histories across the Americas. Artists in the exhibition include: Teddy Sandoval, Yolanda Andrade, Félix Ángel, Ever Astudillo, Myrna Báez, Felipe Baeza, Álvaro Barrios, Sérgio Valle Duarte, Gronk, Ester Hernández, Hudinilson, Jr., Antonio Lopez and Juan Ramos, Marcos López and RES (with Liliana Maresca and Adriana Miranda), Marisol, María Martínez-Cañas, Agustín Martínez Castro, Marta Minujín, Troy Montes Michie, Adolfo Patiño, Claudio Perna, Moises Salazar Tlatenchi, Ana Segovia, Ginger Brooks Takahashi, Joey Terrill, Alex Vallauri, and Martin Wong. Teddy Sandoval and the Butch Gardens School of Art is accompanied by a scholarly catalogue co-published by Independent Curators International (ICI), Inventory Press, the Vincent Price Art Museum at East Los Angeles College, and the Williams College Museum of Art.Find more information about this exhibition here.

Alongside her peers such as Lutz Bacher, Nayland Blake, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, and Lorna Simpson, Wilson joined 1980s postmodernism with the personally and politically charged conceptualism of the 1990s. Her work reflects a particularly unruly conception of queerness that emerged in California during these decades. Featuring newly commissioned scholarly essays by curator David Evans Frantz and scholar Jill H. Casid; a conversation among artists who studied with Wilson; and extensive new photographic documentation of Wilson’s work, the catalogue explores Wilson’s consistent appropriation of museum display practices and institutional authority, her art historical references to dada and surrealism, her sharp attention to gendered portrayals of sexual deviance in early twentieth-century psychoanalysis and sexology, and her longstanding interest in bodies as contested sites.Awards Independent Publisher Book Awards:&nbsp;Fine Art – Bronze (2026)&nbsp; <img width="2500" height="1667" width_o="2500"

Featuring works from the permanent collection alongside select loans, the exhibition is part of the museum’s ongoing initiative Q+ Art, dedicated to elevating the contributions of queer artists. Portraiture plays a central role in many of the works on view, ranging from highly representational to more ambiguous and playful depictions. Other artists turn to abstraction, using form, material, and gesture to challenge fixed notions of queerness and express the fluid, often unruly nature of desire, gender, and sexuality. The selected works foreground networks of care, intimacy, and kinship that shape and sustain queer community. The exhibition presents numerous recent additions to the museum’s permanent collection, including works by Vaginal Davis, Elliott Hundley, Jackie Kirk, Gabriela Ruiz, and John Sonsini.Find more information about this exhibition here. <img width="2000" height="1335" width_o="2000" height_o="1335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2cc9bb1ff308cdf5ceaa5a71cf444ddc994ce6b61120a053a505f08aee25d17a/01-TenderSwager-1321-PSAM-WebRes_edit.jpg" data-mid="242296077" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2cc9bb1ff308cdf5ceaa5a71cf444ddc994ce6b61120a053a505f08aee25d17a/01-TenderSwager-1321-PSAM-WebRes_edit.jpg" /><img width="2000" height="1335" width_o="2000" height_o="1335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e389233f3ee1642c5475c84037702b408676e796def382f1e698a17a111256a8/07-TenderSwager-1322-PSAM-WebRes_edit.jpg" data-mid="242296105" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e389233f3ee1642c5475c84037702b408676e796def382f1e698a17a111256a8/07-TenderSwager-1322-PSAM-WebRes_edit.jpg" /><img width="2000" height="1335" width_o="2000" height_o="1335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/604987ca3c076f0268919c64ca111c1b061b4fd1e2189b63e1f1181c3d12c6f6/09-TenderSwager-1329-PSAM-WebRes_edit.jpg" data-mid="242296107" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/604987ca3c076f0268919c64ca111c1b061b4fd1e2189b63e1f1181c3d12c6f6/09-TenderSwager-1329-PSAM-WebRes_edit.jpg" /><img width="2000" height="1335" width_o="2000" height_o="1335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/07fac4db1ded9224b90db6fc2d114e0d58b809c68a0865de7f93f1c29bc8822c/10-TenderSwager-1324-PSAM-WebRes.jpg" data-mid="242296108" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/07fac4db1ded9224b90db6fc2d114e0d58b809c68a0865de7f93f1c29bc8822c/10-TenderSwager-1324-PSAM-WebRes.jpg" /><img width="2000" height="1335" width_o="2000" height_o="1335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fa7795c5dbf69cc800f0e745c4adc63797f41e6bdae5b426d10ee145da004de3/12-TenderSwager-1326-PSAM-WebRes_edit.jpg" data-mid="242296109" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fa7795c5dbf69cc800f0e745c4adc63797f41e6bdae5b426d10ee145da004de3/12-TenderSwager-1326-PSAM-WebRes_edit.jpg" /><img width="2000" height="1335" width_o="2000" height_o="1335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/08ecc50d75b19bbbe3dc13efa7d1f61a625f18aa52042488bd31cf4b0bbee473/13-TenderSwager-1327-PSAM-WebRes_edit.jpg" data-mid="242296115" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/08ecc50d75b19bbbe3dc13efa7d1f61a625f18aa52042488bd31cf4b0bbee473/13-TenderSwager-1327-PSAM-WebRes_edit.jpg" /> Vaginal Davis, Jane Cantillon, Punk Rock "It Girl", 2021.

Powell Krannert Art Museum (KAM) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign August 29, 2024 – March 1, 2025 The Luckman Fine Arts Complex at Cal State LAOctober 24, 2026 – April 10, 2027 KAM is enthusiastic to organize the first retrospective exhibition and publication showcasing three decades of Millie Wilson’s work (United States, b. 1948). An influential, yet underrecognized, artist and pedagogue who taught generations of artists at the California Institute of the Arts (following a brief stint teaching at the University of Illinois School of Art &amp; Design), Wilson has deftly examined feminism, queerness, and the historical erasure of such positions from institutions of art.Uniting major loans from museums, private collections, and the artist, the project contextualizes Wilson’s substantial work, influential pedagogy, and legacy. Alongside her peers such as Lutz Bacher, Nayland Blake, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, and Lorna Simpson, Wilson joined 1980s postmodernism with the personally and politically charged conceptualism of the 1990s. Her work reflects a particularly unruly conception of queerness that emerged in California during these decades. For example, Wilson’s 1989 installation at LACE titled Fauve Semblant: Peter (A Young English Girl) purported to rediscover a lesbian artist named Peter, who took her name from Romaine Brooks’s 1923–24 portrait of the artist Gluck. Wilson’s faux-retrospective highlighted objects attesting to Peter’s fictionalized life and work: a photograph (taken by Catherine Opie) of Wilson dressed dapperly as Peter; life-sized images of Peter’s smoking jacket, shoes, cane, bow tie, and eyeglasses; and a singular “surviving” painting. Wilson’s installation anticipates many artistic projects utilizing speculation and fabulation to examine queer and trans history, including Zoe Leonard and Cheryl Dunye’s The Fae Richards Photo Archive (1993–96), Ulrike Müller’s Herstory Inventory (2009–12), and Chris E. Vargas’s Museum of Trans Hirstory &amp; Art (MOTHA; 2013–present). &nbsp; In the 1990s, Wilson began mounting her works that appropriated museum practices and authority under an expansive project titled “The Museum of Lesbian Dreams,” an assertion of queer world-making as well as a mockery of the Freudian obsession with the unconscious and midcentury sexology research. Duchampian trickery and surrealist tributes abound in Wilson’s invented collection. Trophy (1990) is a bronze chalice lined with rabbit fur that features a diagram from a 1948 study of homosexuality etched into the base. The illustration charts the pathologies of a distinct individual, “Nora M.,” who refused to disavow her sexuality or agency; the work is thus a tribute to Nora’s resilience expressed through the aesthetic legacy of surrealist Meret Oppenheim. Held within a finely crafted vitrine, Trophy also reflects Wilson’s appropriation of museum display techniques. The two bronze plates that comprise another work, Trousers (for Tony) (1992), memorializes the losses of the AIDS crisis, and specifically the artist Tony Greene (1955–1990), who was Wilson’s student and close friend. Wilson produced fantastical wig sculptures throughout the 1990s—including a monumental, abstract embodiment of accused serial killer and tabloid sensation Aileen Wuornos, who became the focus of numerous other works. More recently, Wilson has turned her investigations to an archive of midcentury vernacular photographs she culled from eBay and thrift stores, enlarged and presented as lightboxes. This thematic exhibition will emphasize Wilson’s consistent appropriation of museum display practices and institutional authority, her art historical references to dada and surrealism, her sharp attention to gendered portrayals of sexual deviance in early twentieth-century psychoanalysis and sexology, and her longstanding interest in bodies as unruly and contested sites. Ephemera will demonstrate how Wilson’s work enfolds LGBTQ+ cultures, art histories, and activism in the United States, along with a section on her early work and process. The exhibition will be accompanied by a full-color comprehensive publication with newly commissioned scholarly essays and extensive photographic documentation of Wilson’s work.Find more information about this exhibition here.

A central figure in Los Angeles’s queer and Chicanx artistic circles, Sandoval produced subversive and playful artworks in a range of media that explored the codes of gender and sexuality—particularly transforming conceptions of masculinity. This expansive publication surveys Sandoval’s work alongside other queer, Latinx, and Latin American artists whose practices profoundly resonate. The expansive catalogue features essays by C. Ondine Chavoya, David Evans Frantz, Raquel Gutiérrez, and Mari Rodriguez Binnie, as well as biographical entries on additional artists featured in the exhibition, among them Félix Ángel, Myrna Báez, Álvaro Barrios, Ester Hernández, Hudinilson Jr., Antonio Lopez, María Martínez-Cañas, Marisol, and Joey Terrill.
