QUEER PASTS/QUEER FUTURES, William Way’s 19th Annual Juried Art Exhibition, brings together an exuberant, intergenerational gathering of diverse artistic perspectives that reflect eclectic attitudes, reacting to and responding to the world around us. Through a wide range of methods, materials, and mediums, the selected artists engage with this year’s theme in unexpected and imaginative ways, exploring the spectrum of Queer experiences and viewpoints. The exhibition as a whole pays tribute to our uniquely complicated histories, struggles, and legacies, while looking toward a brighter collective future for Queer people. - Gabriel Martinez
