PLAYTIME by Uyen HoangOpening Reception: Friday, July 7 from 8pm to 11pm
Art Roving is pleased to announce the 2023 Queer Art Salon exhibition, curated by Ashley Jaye Williams. The Queer Art Salon will be on view from July 7 – August 13, 2023 at Selina Union Market. This exhibition features works from sixteen DC area artists including Albert Ting, AnaMarie King, Anthony Le, Ashley Jaye Williams, C.S. Corbin, Chrystal Seawood, Daryle Locko, Idris Aguero, Kiel Posner, Lisa Marie Thalhammer, Nia Keturah Calhoun, Shyama Kuver, Taryn Harris, The Model Mutiny, Uyen Hoang, and Xena Ni.
“The true strength of the exhibition is that everyone’s work is so different, and I like that the only common thread between the artists is that we are all members of the Queer community,” says Williams. “Queer people are constantly bringing so much beauty, creativity, and life to spaces; this exhibition is a celebration of this while reminding viewers of our collective strength.”
The 2023 Queer Art Salon will be accompanied by a series of events:
- An opening reception and Queer dance party will be held on Friday, July 7 from 8-11 pm.
- A collector’s reception will take place on Thursday, July 27 from 6-8 pm.
- An open house and curator’s tour will be held on Sunday, July 30 from 2-4 pm,
- and an artist happy hour and round table discussion will be on Wednesday, August 2 from 6-8 pm.
All events are free to attend.
Selina Union Market is located at 411 New York Ave NE, Washington DC. The artist spaces can be found on the lower level. Art Roving, an artist-focused consulting and curatorial practice, manages the visual arts program and studio artist residency at Selina Union Market.
