InResidency by The Bureau of Queer Art is a media venture for Contemporary Queer & Allied Creatives to explore representation, identity, and themes of outsiderness in a culture of 'mall-ification'. “Queer' not as being about who you're having sex with (that can be a dimension of it); but 'queer' as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live.” -Bell Hooks Apply to participate at BureauQueerArt.com

Cortney Mansanarez’s solo show Coloring Is... captures queer joy, movement, and vulnerability in bold, expressive portraits of the male form. This ongoing photo series invites us to color outside the lines—where mess, gesture, and light meet in a celebration of queer embodiment.
You can view the full exclusive online at Artsy.net, with new works added biweekly. If you're in Baltimore, don’t miss the chance to see his work in person as part of Dismantled, The Bureau of Queer Art’s Volume 10 collaboration with Maryland Art Place. Opening September 11 during the BROMO Art Walk, and on view through November 1, 2025.
