QUEER|ART|PRIDE: BOOK & PRINT FAIR

Saturday, June 8th at 1pm-6pm
FREE, Open to the Public, RSVP Recommended

The centerpiece of Queer|Art|Pride 2019 is the first-ever Queer|Art|Pride Book & Print Fair, taking place throughout the day on Saturday, June 8th, with work available for sale by 30+ participating LGBTQ+ artists from the Queer|Art|Mentorship program. Curated in the spirit of abundance, the Queer|Art|Pride Book & Print Fair will include hundreds of works for perusal and purchase, with an eclectic range of artist books, novels, zines, poetry chapbooks, drawings, photographs, watercolors, collages, prints, and other limited edition artworks spilling out from Abrons’ main gallery and into the outdoor amphitheater. Many artists will be present to discuss their work, sell it, and autograph it, too, while live performances and readings throughout the day provide additional opportunities to hear the work out loud. A cool and celebratory vibe will carry the day with alternating DJ sets by Zenobia, known for her exclusive focus on music by femmes of color, and Precolumbian, whose Philadelphia-based parties center trans people of color. Food and drinks will fill out the festivities in true block-party style!
