Art is Gay 2026!

132 Mulberry Street, Fl. 5, New York, NY 10013

Art is Gay returns for its second annual fundraiser and showcase exhibiting queer artists across disciplines, taking place on Thursday, July 30 at Chef's Dinner Table in Little Italy. Buy your tickets here or at the door, and confirm your attendance at our Partiful link to receive updates!

Curated by Harsh Collective NYC, contemporary visual art takes center stage in an evening of live music, portraits, typewriter poetry, tattoos, cocktails, and conversation. Created by Elizabeth Squires to celebrate queer creatives beyond Pride, exhibiting artists retain 100% of their artwork sales and commissions.

This year, we're especially excited to be partnering with Queer|Art, with a portion of event proceeds supporting their mission to uplift queer artists.
