The Bunker Artspace in Palm Beach, Florida, has opened "Beyond the Rainbow," a major exhibition of LGBTQ+ art curated by Laura Dvorkin and Maynard Monrow, along with 19 other artists, curators, gallerists, architects, and writers. The show draws from the collection of patron Beth Rudin DeWoody and features works by Catherine Opie, Andy Warhol, Nicole Eisenman, Lyle Ashton Harris, and others, running from December 7 through May 1, 2026. The exhibition was inspired by a visit to the Centre Pompidou's "Over the Rainbow" show in Paris.
The exhibition matters because it directly responds to Florida's political climate under Governor Ron DeSantis, who has pursued policies rolling back protections for queer families and limiting healthcare for trans citizens. By staging a celebration of queer art and activism just 15 minutes from Mar-a-Lago, DeWoody and the curators make a deliberate political statement. The show also highlights the AIDS crisis through curated groupings of works by Martin Wong, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, and General Idea, connecting historical struggles to contemporary advocacy.
