We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on June 2, 2012.

First Venue Portrait + New Artwork + over $2,000 in our first week!

Update #1 · May 14, 2012 · comment

Thank you everyone for the strong start to our Dirty Looks: On Location fundraising initiative! We are excited to launch the next stage in the Dirty Looks: On Location campaign. Leading up to our month of 31 interventions in 31 historic New York City sites, we will produce a series of short venue portraits, highlighting the historical significance of many colorful or forgotten haunts which might otherwise appear to be ordinary spaces, as well as celebrating the institutions that make up queer life in New York today. First up - The Everard Baths, one New York City's oldest and most tempestuous gay sex spots in our history.

We've also added two new, original artworks by Jonathan VanDyke. These images from the 2004 Untitled Person series are gorgeous Gelatin Silver prints from an artist recently featured in Jon Davies recent "Coming After" exhibition at Toronto's Power Plant, an exhibition that addressed issues of activism and queer identity for a generation of artists growing up during the AIDS crisis. You can acquire one of these two beautiful prints for a discounted rate of $450 exclusively through this campaign.


And finally, I'm thrilled to report that we are coming well along, with over $2,000 in pledges and 28 supporters and counting! Thank you everyone for your help and please, if you feel that you know someone who would be interested in our mission or in our queer film fan incentives, please share our exciting initiative with them, in order to ensure that Dirty Looks: On Location hits your streets, and soon!
