César García-Alvarez Named Q+ Art Curator-at-Large at Palm Springs Art Museum

César García-Alvarez has been appointed Q+ Art Curator-at-Large at the Palm Springs Art Museum, the institution announced. In the role, García-Alvarez will oversee the next two-year curatorial rotation of Q+ Art, the museum's program devoted to raising the visibility of LGBTQ+ artists and art histories. Launched in 2023, Q+ Art operates through exhibitions, programs, collection building, community engagement, and education. The museum describes it as the only initiative of its kind dedicated to queer art and artists housed within a general art museum. The program draws on Palm Springs' standing as a center of LGBTQ+ culture in the United States and on the contributions of the region's queer community, bringing queer artists, histories, and perspectives into the museum's exhibitions, collection, programs, and broader activities. García-Alvarez's two-year rotation places him at the head of that effort.
