SUMMARY:A Queer Arcana: Art\, Magic\, and Spirit
DESCRIPTION:A Queer Arcana: Art\, Magic\, and Spirit brings together an intergenerational group of artists who explore how magic\, spirituality\, and esoteric knowledge have shaped queer art and culture in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. \n\n\n\nDrawing on the meaning of arcana—hidden and mystical knowledge—the exhibition considers how queer artists have turned to obscure spiritual practices as sources of connection and transformation. These artists engage magic as a way to envision worlds beyond repressive systems\, reclaim sexuality as a sacred power\, and build community. \n\n\n\nThe works on view reflect a wide range of spiritual traditions and practices\, including Western occultism\, witchcraft and goddess worship\, Christian mysticism\, New Age beliefs influenced by Eastern philosophies\, and shamanic traditions rooted in Indigenous knowledge. Many artists explore and combine diverse traditions\, constructing through their work idiosyncratic and intricate worlds. \n\n\n\nAs articulated by the queer Chicana poet and theorist Gloria Anzaldúa\, “spirituality is a source of sustenance\, a way of knowing\, a path of survival.” A Queer Arcana highlights how magical and alternative spiritual practices have been ever-present within queer culture and LGBTQ+ struggles for liberation\, even when their significance has been obscured from dominant historical accounts. \n\n\n\nThe Palm Springs Art Museum main location is open Sunday\, Friday\, and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.\, and Thursday from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.. The museum is closed on Mondays\, Tuesdays\, and Wednesdays. Admission is free on Thursday evenings from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nExhibit runs March 28\, 2026 – October 18\, 2026

SUMMARY:International Day Against Homophobia\, Transphobia and Biphobia
DESCRIPTION:The theme for the International Day Against Homophobia\, Transphobia\, and Biphobia (IDAHOBIT) 2026 will be “At the heart of democracy\,” the global IDAHOBIT Advisory Committee announced today. \n\n\n\nDeveloped through extensive consultations with regional and global LGBTQIA+ networks worldwide\, the 2026 IDAHOBIT theme serves as a powerful reminder that the soil of truly democratic societies must be rich in meaningful equity and justice for all\, fostering the flourishing of the entire community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nObserved annually on 17 May\, IDAHOBIT commemorates the 1990 decision by the World Health Organization to remove homosexuality from its International Classification of Diseases. \n\n\n\nFirst celebrated in 2005\, the Day has grown into a truly global community moment. Every year\, individuals\, organisations\, and governments celebrate the day with initiatives\, events\, and campaigns in solidarity with LGBTQIA+ people\, demanding action to ensure they can exercise their rights. \n\n\n\nNo matter where we live\, who we are\, or the faiths that drive us\, most people want to nurture neighbourhoods and communities where every life can flourish. But today\, reactionary governments worldwide are poisoning our gardens with the invasive weeds of their authoritarian policies and exclusionary legislations. \n\n\n\nTime and again\, LGBTQIA+ people have resisted these pests\, rolled up their sleeves together with all the good people caring about their communities\, and sowed the seeds of change. On IDAHOBIT 2026\, and every day\, you are invited to join in — at the heart of democracy: together\, we can prepare the ground for a better future for everyone. \n\n\n\nIDAHOBIT is a shared moment for communities and allies to cultivate change in ways that reflect local soils\, climates\, and traditions. Whether planting a community mural in Buenos Aires\, hosting a virtual town‑hall in Nairobi\, or organising a legislative lobby day in Strasbourg\, every initiative — no matter how big or small — adds nutrients to the democratic garden.
