SUMMARY:The AO Series - Alexa Treviño & Anthony Jimenez
DESCRIPTION:Galería de la Raza is proud to present Part One of The AO Series\, the first installment of a three-part exhibition celebrating the culmination of the ReGen Artist Fund Cohorts 1 and 2. \n\n\n\nThe AO Series represents a significant investment in San Francisco’s creative arts sector\, directly funding 15 artists and regranting $250K over the past two years. This series highlights the work of six grantees\, offering the public an opportunity to experience the depth\, regenerative spirit\, and at times collaborative nature of each artist’s completed body of work. \n\n\n\nThese projects were made possible through the ReGen Artist Fund\, a small grants program that pairs financial support with professional development. In addition to funding\, participating artists receive training in grant writing and program planning\, equipping them to develop competitive proposals for future opportunities. The fund is as much a commitment to artistic growth as it is to community investment. Encouraged to think critically about how art can reshape societal narratives\, these artists examine their roles as cultural bearers while addressing stories and perspectives often overlooked in today’s politically charged climate. \n\n\n\nThrough exploring portraiture through traditional painting and technology\, in this series\, artists Alexa Treviño and Anthony Jimenez explore how we carry and honor family and community\, memories\, and place.  \n\n\n\nJoin us in celebrating the kick off of The Artist Oeuvres\n\n\n\nOpening \n\n\n\nSaturday\, March 7\, 2026  \n\n\n\n7:00 PM – 10:00 PM

SUMMARY:Lunada New Moon Fest 2026

Celebrate creativity. Connect with community. \n\n\n\nThis season we will feature twice the features\, music\, vendors and a stacked open mic.  The 2026 season kick off is on Friday\, April 17th.  Don’t forget to mark your calendars for the remainder of the fest happening Sunday\, June 14th and Saturday\, October 10th.  \n\n\n\nOpen mic sign ups for April 17 are starting now\, visit the link below to claim a spot in the line up. \n\n\n\n\nCLICK HERE TO SIGN UP\n\n\n\n\nFree admission. \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Features \n\n\n\nAndrea Cruz—a.k.a. Diabbla—was born in Chicago\, Illinois\, and possesses deep Mexican roots. She is a multifaceted artist who brings a fresh\, new versatility to the music scene. She inherited her singing talent from her family at a young age and as she grew and honed her vocal skills\, she began to branch out into the world of rap at age 15.  \n\n\n\nSteeped in the “old school” traditions of the genre\, Diabbla draws inspiration from artists such as Cypress Hill\, Control Machete\, Akwid\, West Coast legends\, Molotov\, and many others. Over the years\, she has seamlessly blended rapping with singing\, incorporating elements of R&B\, Jazz\, Boom Bap\, Trap\, Drill\, and more.  \n\n\n\nDiabbla is currently based in San Francisco\, California area where she continues to expand her reach across new horizons\, firmly believing that no border can ever contain her sound or her name. She promises to be an artist who offers far more than just a particular image; her true desire is to leave a lasting legacy through her compositions\, ensuring that listeners can truly feel and connect with every single bar she delivers from her own personal life. \n\n\n\n\n\nKarina Gamez is an emerging writer\, born to Salvadoran immigrants and raised in the Bay Area\, CA. She is a recent graduate of New York University\, where her academic and literary work has been grounded in El Salvador\, exploring themes of state violence\, historical memory\, war\, exile\, migration\, caretaking\, illness\, and love. Her writing has appeared in rhizomag\, Confluence\, among other publications. She is also an organizer with the Bay Area chapter of the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES).

SUMMARY:En Pie Lucha: Miro y Aprendo + The AO Series - Anna Colom & Nayelli Rosas
DESCRIPTION:Galería de la Raza is excited to present a double feature this summer showcasing the work and legacy of the late Rini Templeton in En Pie De Lucha: Miro y Aprendo\, and the second installment of The AO Seriesfeaturing ReGen grantees Anna Colom and Nayelli Rosas.  \n\n\n\n En Pie De Lucha: Miro y Aprendo\, co-curated with Ed McCaughn\, Galería marks the 40th anniversary of Templeton’s passing with a selection of original prints from the artist’s portfolio Donde hay vida y lucha\, printed in 1985 in collaboration with El Mixton\, a political collective of artists in Guadalajara. We explore her bold and graphic images of people fighting for justice\, working the fields\, or living life\, in conversation with a group of 40+ artists who answered a call from Espacio Zapata in Oaxaca\, Mexico to pay homage to Templeton and her commitment to capturing a people in service of social justice through art.  \n\n\n\nThe AO Series represents a significant investment in San Francisco’s creative arts sector\, directly funding 15 artists and regranting $250K over the past two years. This series highlights the work of six grantees\, offering the public an opportunity to experience the depth\, regenerative spirit\, and at times collaborative nature of each artist’s completed body of work. \n\n\n\nThese projects were made possible through the ReGen Artist Fund\, a small grants program that pairs financial support with professional development.

Encouraged to think critically about how art can reshape societal narratives\, these artists examine their roles as cultural bearers while addressing stories and perspectives often overlooked in today’s politically charged climate. \n\n\n\nWithin Part Two of The AO Series\, artists Anna Colom and Nayelli Rosas explore gender expression\, safe placemaking\, and cultural ties through portraiture and design\, using tattooing and photography as forms of resistance\, empowerment\, and self-expression. \n\n\n\nJoin us in celebrating \n\n\n\nEn Pie De Lucha: Miro y Aprendo and  The Artist Oeuvres \n\n\n\nOpening \n\n\n\nSaturday\, June 6\, 2026 \n\n\n\n7:00 PM – 10:00 PM

SUMMARY:Artist Talk - The Artist Oeuvre Series: Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Gay Now\, Gay Later & Amor No Binario \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for an afternoon of conversation with the Anna Raquel & Nayelli Rosas the artist behind Gay Now\, Gay Later & Amor No Binario\, respectively.   \n\n\n\nThis conversation takes us through the creation and curation of each powerfully stunning art project that celebrate queer joy. Raquel & Rosas reflect on their exploration of gender expression\, safe placemaking\, and cultural ties; while amplifying the importance of queer visibility.  \n\n\n\nRSVP by clicking the button below. Please note\, seating is limited. Seating priority will be given to early arrivals\, elders\, and people with disabilities. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP HERE\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Projects \n\n\n\nGay Now\, Gay Later explores tattooing as a form of community care\, queer expression\, and cultural storytelling within San Francisco’s queer Latinx communities. The project reinterprets the classic Chicano phrase “Smile Now\, Cry Later” — popularized through Chicano tattoo culture and artist Freddy Negrete — to center queer Latino identities and experiences through Chicano-style tattooing. \n\n\n\nRooted in the artist’s Latina heritage\, queer identity\, and Bay Area upbringing\, the work combines Chicano and American traditional tattoo aesthetics with queer visual culture. Through hand-drawn tattoo flash sheets\, documentary-style video\, and film photography\, the project highlights themes of gender affirmation\, bodily autonomy\, self-expression\, and collective healing. One flash sheet references drag\, ballroom\, and leather cultures\, while another draws from San Francisco iconography including Victorian houses\, local wildlife\, area codes\, and street culture. \n\n\n\nDeveloped through free tattoo sessions with queer BIPOC participants across neighborhoods such as the Mission District\, Tenderloin\, Bayview\, and Excelsior\, the project foregrounds tattooing as an intimate\, service-based practice rooted in storytelling and human connection. Participants shared how tattoos can memorialize personal histories\, affirm identity\, and create confidence and belonging. By documenting these experiences\, Gay Now\, Gay Later positions the body as an archive and tattooing as a practice of visibility\, care\, and cultural preservation. \n\n\n\nAmor No Binario explores the intersections of queer identity\, relationships\, and cultural expectations within the Latinx community in the Bay Area. Through interviews and portrait photography\, Rosas documents the lived experiences of six queer Latinx participants with diverse identities\, including nonbinary\, femme\, masc\, and trans individuals. \n\n\n\nCentered on storytelling and intimacy\, the project combines hour-long recorded conversations with portraits created in spaces personally meaningful to each participant. Emerging from discussions around queer love\, chosen family\, gender exploration\, rejection and acceptance\, public visibility\, and intergenerational memory\, the work examines how identity is shaped through culture\, environment\, and community. \n\n\n\nThe resulting photo series captures moments of vulnerability\, confidence\, and connection while reflecting resistance to restrictive ideas surrounding gender\, sexuality\, and cultural norms within Latinx communities. Clothing\, jewelry\, religious objects\, and personal style become visual markers of memory\, nostalgia\, and self-expression. By foregrounding authentic experiences of queer Latinx life\, the project invites viewers to reconsider conventional understandings of identity and embrace the complexity and many forms of queer love\, belonging\, and selfhood. \n\n\n\nAbout The AO Series \n\n\n\nThe AO Series represents a significant investment in San Francisco’s creative arts sector\, directly funding 15 artists and regranting $250K over the past two years. This series highlights the work of six grantees\, offering the public an opportunity to experience the depth\, regenerative spirit\, and at times collaborative nature of each artist’s completed body of work. \n\n\n\nThese projects were made possible through the ReGen Artist Fund\, a small grants program that pairs financial support with professional development.
