SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Art Exhibition: Tigers in the Garden
DESCRIPTION:LGBTQ+ Art Exhibit – NOAGE Night\nWednesday\, July 8\, 6:30-8:30PM\nAt the UNO Gallery on St. Claude\n2429 St. Claude Ave. \nJoin NOAGE and the John Burton Harter Foundation for an exciting new art exhibition!\n“Tigers in the Garden” brings together a dynamic group of emerging and established LGBTQ+ artists working across New Orleans\, presenting a vivid portrait of a cultural landscape where identity\, performance\, and place are inseparable. The exhibition is curated by Bradley Sumrall\, Curator of the Collection at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. \nThe exhibition features work by John Burton Harter\, Matthew Draughter\, André Hubbard\, Marta Rodriguez Maleck\, Michael Meads\, Jacob Reptile\, Maxx Sizeler\, Cars Stewart\, Goldie Ray Sylvan\, Trenity Thomas\, Meg Turner\, and Kyle Young.\nAt its core\, Tigers in the Garden positions New Orleans itself as both sanctuary and stage—a place where cultivated surfaces and untamed realities exist side by side. As described in the exhibition text\, the city becomes “a lush\, unruly garden where identities are cultivated\, performed\, and continuously reimagined\,” and where artists move with “a kind of feral intelligence—improvisational\, self-possessed\, and unafraid.” \nThe title draws from the 1950 novel Tiger in the Garden by Speed Lamkin\, a work that explored class tension\, social change\, and one of the earliest candid depictions of gay life in the twentieth-century South. In Lamkin’s narrative\, the “tiger” emerges as a disruptive force within the rigid structures of Southern society—an apt metaphor for the artists in this exhibition\, whose practices challenge inherited norms while embracing visibility\, sensuality\, and self-definition. \nThe exhibition is made possible through the support of the John Burton Harter Foundation\, whose mission is to advance awareness of visual and queer art through the legacy of its namesake. Established through Harter’s own charitable trust\, the foundation continues to fund exhibitions\, publications\, and initiatives that expand opportunities for artists and institutions alike
