APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!  2019-2020 QUEER|ART|MENTORSHIP PROGRAM CYCLE *PLUS* the premiere of our new “What is QAM?” video  Above: "What is Queer|Art|Mentorship?" video with appearances by Alumni and Current QAM Mentors and Fellows: Moe Angelos, Rodrigo Bellott, Candystore, Geoff Chadsey, Xandra Clark, CQ, David Antonio Cruz, Mashuq Mushtaq Deen, Neil Goldberg, Pati Hertling, Troy Michie, Pamela Sneed; and QA staffers: Travis Chamberlain, Kris Grey, and Rio Sofia. Directed and edited by KT Pe Benito.   The Program Queer|Art|Mentorship supports a year-long exchange between early-career and advanced-career LGBTQ+ artists living in New York City—working together in pairs and as a class across five fields of creative practice (Film, Literature, Performance, Visual Art, and Curatorial Practice). Fellows apply with a specific project they would like to work on during the program and meet with their Mentors monthly to discuss their progress. Fellows also meet each month as a group. At the culmination of the program, each Fellow participates in a special exhibition—known as the "QAM Annual"—that showcases their practice and the progress of their project. The program begins in October and ends in October of the following year. The Mentors Thomas Lax (Curatorial Practice) Rodrigo Bellott (Film) Hao Wu (Film) Kate Bornstein (Literature) Gayatri Gopinath (Literature) Charles Rice-Gonzalez (Literature) Maria Bauman-Morales (Performance) Mashuq Mushtaq Deen (Performance) Lola Flash (Visual Art) Yve Laris Cohen (Visual Art) We encourage all interested applicants to familiarize themselves with the work of our Mentors.
