Below is a sneak peek of some of the artists and works you'll see online.

Photographer and 2021 Robert Giard Grant Judge Naima Green is selling Pur·suit, a deck of playing cards featuring images of queer womxn, trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people, inspired by Catherine Opie's Dyke Deck.

Visual media mavens will enjoy the whimsically mischievous drawings of 2014-2015 QAM Mentor Jibz Cameron, who is selling prints rendered in her signature style. As she says in a 2017 interview with Artforum, “may I never stop drawing. Drawing is seeing." At Cameron's Fair table, there is indeed plenty to see!

At 2018-2019 QAM Fellow Russell Perkins’ table, you can purchase his collaborative book, The Future Tense, a publication centering collective grief and the management of uncertainty that was named “One of the Most Beautiful Swiss Books of 2022” by the cultural ministry of Switzerland.

Another Guest Artist, Rachel Britton is a nonbinary photographer based in Michigan. Born with an identical twin and fraternal triplet, Rachel mimics their relationship to multiplicity by compositing bodies together. At the Fair, you can purchase Rachel's radiant and surreal photographs that play with the body in ways you've never seen before.

One of several Guest Artists invited to this year's Fair, Erica Wessmann is selling sculptures that are at simultaneously abstract, biomorphic, and erotic. Their work materially question one's relationship to the body as a vessel for subjective experience.

Over in the zine section, Fair favorite and 2015-2016 QAM Fellow Brendan Williams-Childs teams up with longtime collaborator Mar Stratford to bring us a sensational series of zines about everything from queer revenge fantasies, to Star Trek fanfiction, to Sappho’s writing.

2014-2015 QAM Mentor Chitra Ganesh is selling, Queer Power!, a time traveling coloring book celebrating the queer and transgender histories of downtown Manhattan. The collaborative book also features an essay by 2020-2021 QAM Fellow Erica Cardwell, among others!
