The Queer Caucus for Art has had much to celebrate recently, including a new website for the group, fantastic panels at CAA, numerous exhibition openings, and publications of books by our members.<\/p>\n

The QCA is excited to announce the launch of its new website: http:\/\/queercaucusforart.org<\/a>.The site provides regularly updated queer art news and resources such as archives, books, articles, information on residencies, and funding opportunities. Here, you can join QCA, create a profile to share information about your work, and network with other members.<\/p>\n

Alpesh Kantilal Patel and Tina T. Takemoto have assembled an exciting lineup of speakers for \u201cQueer Exhaustion,\u201d the QCA\u2019s panel at the 2016 CAA conference next month. Panelists Xandra Ibarra, Nao Bustamante, Tameka Norris, and Robert Summers will discuss \u201cthe pleasures and perils of employing exaggeration as an artistic strategy to combat stereotypes that cut across intersecting identifications of race, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, and disability.\u201d The panel will take place on Saturday, February 6, from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM in the Maryland Suite.<\/p>\n
