THURSDAY, MAY 5, 2025 - Kaanyag Art Exhibit
The Chan came alive for KAANYAG, Jethro Patalinghug’s radiant tribute to queer and trans AAPI drag artists. From fierce performances to unforgettable looks, this gallery from photographer Jonas Baltazar captures the spirit of resistance, joy, and community. Huge thanks to GLBTQ+ Asian Pacific Alliance for supporting this extraordinary night.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 2025 - LEA DELARIA - OUT RAGE
Two packed performances kicked off the second season at The Chan National Queer Arts Center. Lea DeLaria brought the house down with her incomparable humor and incredible vocals. Afterwards, she and her band joined some of our staff, VIP’s, and donors for a reception. One final photo features Sasha Netchaev, the brilliant artist whose work is now featured in the Chan Gallery.
Special thanks to Marco Solorio and David Diaz for their photo selects.
