Major Queer Art Auction Features Peaches, Chappell Roan, and Chani Nicholas
Dozens of donated artworks, archival media, experiences, and collectibles that embody the queer canon are available through the second annual Queer | Art x Doll Invasion fundraiser exhibition.
The second annual auction exhibition by the New York City-based nonprofit Queer|Art (QA) features a wide range of iconic LGBTQIA+ art and memorabilia, including works by Peaches, Chappell Roan, Chani Nicholas, and other notable figures. The exhibition, titled "Major Queer Art Auction," runs through Sunday, August 30 at Participant Inc. and Salma Sarriedine galleries on Elizabeth Street.
The auction's proceeds will benefit the Queer|Art|Mentorship (QAM) program, which pairs established LGBTQIA+ artists with emerging artists for 10 months of 1:1 artistic and professional development. The auction's highlights include a signed Paris is Burning (1990) film poster, original drawings by Tony Award-winning non-binary actor Cole Escola, and a sculptural self-portrait by Young Joon Kwak.
Other notable items include signed vinyl editions of Chappell Roan's debut album and a makau (fish hook) from the entrance look of trans Hawaiian drag performer Sasha Colby on RuPaul's Drag Race.
