In this workshop we’ll be looking at how queer artists have used portraiture as a vehicle for exploration and expression. Following this, we’ll be making our own expressive portraits, with paint and collage materials provided by Fleisher.

Queer Makers is a space for queer and ally artists to come together, learn, discuss, and create! In this series of workshops, join student teaching artist Kieran Becker for a fun presentation on artists– historical and contemporary– who have used art to express their queer identity or highlight queer issues, followed by group discussion and responsive artmaking activity. Each session will focus on a new topic and new prompt for artmaking.
