“Holding Queer Space” Art Exhibition at Sentro Filipino (SF)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Beginning at 6:00PM on May 29th, help us welcome Sentro Filipino’s first Exhibition of 2026. Awarded our Exhibition Grant, GAPA transforms our Rizal Hall with works by Queer and Trans Asian and Pacific Islander (QTAPI) artists. This Opening Reception will be a momentous one that celebrates both the continuation of our Exhibition Grant Program and an ushering in of June’s Pride Month.

Holding (Queer) Space invites us to reflect on our relationships with each other as QTAPI in the diaspora by exploring what it means to take up space and practice placemaking for others. Whether it’s found within, among chosen family, or in the community-at-large, featured artists celebrate modes of thinking about connection through shared experiences and histories, underscoring how QTAPI solidarity can cultivate placemaking and belonging. By sharing our perspectives, we create common ground where people can come together across generations, cultures, and identities. These acts of visibility foster pride, reduce isolation, and affirm that our lives and experiences matter.
