Doing Queer Frontiers 2022

Queer Frontiers 2022 is set to be the biggest and most daring pride edition yet. Presented by Artiq, which was founded by Patrick McCrae in 2018 to champion LGBTQ+ creatives and improve inclusivity and diversity in the art world, it features works by emerging and established artists, including Chris Hawkes, Natalia Lewandowska and Kevin Anaafi-Brown.

In keeping with Artiq’s charitable mission, at least half of the proceeds from the exhibiton sales will be donated to the Albert Kennedy Trust and Outside In. The former supports LGBTQ+ young people who are homeless of at risk of homelessness, while the latter provides a platform for artists who face significant barriers to the art world due to health, disability, social circumstance, or isolation.

This year’s exhibition sees Artiq partner for the first time with Link, along with Soho Estates and headline sponsor, specialist insurer and arts supporter, Hiscox. ‘Our ethos is to bridge the divide between the corporate and cultural words and our partnership with Link perfectly encapsulates that,’ says Patrick McCrae, CEO of Artiq and founder of Queer Frontiers.

As you plot your plan for Pride in London’s 50th anniversary celebrations, make sure Queer Frontiers is top of your list.
