We hope you are finding time this summer to relax with a good book or playlist or attend an arts event wherever you may be. Our July Queer Art + Artists selections celebrate the influence of queer voices in fine art, film, and music. Visit our Queer Arts + Artists website series to learn more about these artists and their work—and please share your opinions on social media!

The work of MacArthur Fellow and Whitney Biennial artist JEFFREY GIBSON is a vibrant call for queer and Indigenous empowerment, envisioning a celebration of strength and joy within these communities.

JusticeAid leverages the community-building power of art and music to transform awareness into action in the fight against injustice. Each year we identify and raise funds for justice causes by hosting music, arts, and educational events. Since 2013 JusticeAid has granted more than 1.7 million dollars to nonprofits working to ensure access to justice for the disenfranchised and marginalized. Our grantee partners are fighting racist voter suppression and racist policing, working to end mass incarceration and inhumane immigration practices, ensuring access to legal services, and addressing the criminalization and hatred of others.
