The Boston LGBTQIA+ Artist Alliance, a volunteer artist-run organization, is displaying works by local queer artists at the Distillery Gallery in South Boston until late July.
The showcase, titled âsome assembly required,â opened to the public earlier this month, and features pieces of various mediums by 30 queer artists from the Greater Boston area.
Ena KantardžiÄ, one of the showâs curators, said the collection was organized following an open call for art submissions last year, as part of a larger effort to ârevitalizeâ BLAA.
âItâs been in the works for a while,â KantardžiÄ said. âBLAA is an organization that was kind of quiet after 2019, and it felt like such a loss to the community, so a small-ish group of us came together and tried to breathe life into it.â
