Celebrate Pride with The Faerie Playhouse, June 13, 2026
Join The Faerie Playhouse in celebrating Pride this year at the Tigers in the Garden and at PrideFest!
The Faerie Playhouse is pleased to loan a J.B. Harter painting from our collection to the UNO St. Claude Gallery for Tigers in the Garden, an LGBTQ+ art exhibit. Tigers in the Garden brings together a dynamic group of emerging and established LGBTQ+ artists working across New Orleans, presenting a vivid portrait of a cultural landscape where identity, performance, and place are inseparable. The exhibition is curated by Bradley Sumrall, Curator of the Collection at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art.
The exhibition opens Saturday, June 13, 2025 with a public reception from 6–9 PM. A preview reception will take place Thursday, June 11, from 5–8 PM. Both events coincide with Pride New Orleans, situating the exhibition within a broader moment of visibility and celebration.
In addition to the J.B. Harter, the exhibition features work by Matthew Draughter, André Hubbard, Marta Rodriguez Maleck, Michael Meads, Jacob Reptile, Maxx Sizeler, Cars Stewart, Goldie Ray Sylvan, Trenity Thomas, Meg Turner, and Kyle Young.
