THE ALI FORNEY CENTER
JEANINE BRITO

Of this series benefiting the Ali Forney Center, Brito notes, “I strongly believe in the Ali Forney Center’s comprehensive approach to supporting homeless LGBTQ+ youth, which is so important—particularly in this political moment. It’s life-changing, vital work.”
CALEB HAHNE-QUINTANA
It Is Not Only A Village, 2023

Of this series benefitting the Ali Forney Center, Hahne Quintana notes, “Everyone deserves a place to live, care, community, and to be understood. Water, food and shelter are atop Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and I think it’s important that these all basic needs are met. I want to be a part of something that helps create this space for people, so I’ve chosen to do so with an artwork about connectivity.”

THE AUDRE LORDE PROJECT
RICARDO PARTIDA
At My Beck and Call, 2021
BUY NOW
“I think representation is very important, especially in the arts and it’s an honor to contribute to an organization who values me and the queer community,” says Partida on the collaboration with the Audre Lorde Project. “I feel like there is something really interesting in building these power structures that people can look at and then insert themselves into the narrative. It’s so much about allowing other people to see themselves in the work and seeing the possibilities of them creating their own narrative.”

DESTINATION TOMORROW
NATALIA NAKAZAWA
Visual Heteroglossia: Infinite Flooding, Infinite Burning, 2021
BUY NOW
Of this series benefitting Destination Tomorrow, she notes, “Everyone needs somewhere they can go to be heard and to get support. It's important that Destination Tomorrow provides access to supportive resources and services for the LGBTQ community in the Bronx. I am moved by the way that they approach economic, social, and mental empowerment through a variety of holistic educational, financial, support-based, housing, and health programs.”
DEVIN OSORIO
Aprender del Caer, 2021
BUY NOW
Osorio notes, “As a first-generation Dominican-American, gender non-conforming individual from Washington Heights, I have personally endured the violence, fear, and loneliness that is often experienced within the queer community. My community, chosen family, and I are forever grateful to organizations such as the Destination Tomorrow because, with their help, we are able to live unimaginable and at times, unprecedented lives. Every morning I start my day by listing off the things I’m grateful for, and in this list is always a community center or organization that has helped create the person I am now.”

MARÍA FRAGOSO
Augurio, 2021
BUY NOW
Fragoso notes, “I find The Rainbow Umbrella Program’s mission incredibly important—not only for creating a strong sense of community for LGBTQ youth and their allies, but also for creating a space where they can feel empowered and supported. As a queer artist that is part of this community, I hope that my work can make an active contribution.”
CALEB HAHNE-QUINTANA
A Place Only We Know, 2021
BUY NOW
Of this benefit series, he remarks, “I think that it is especially important to create a safe and inclusive community around identity for young people. Places like The Rainbow Umbrella Program help create a safe space for teenagers’ developing years and growing pains. Giving back to a community that is looking out for everyone is the least that I could do.”
