Aunt Charlie’s Angels by Tim Snyder

Exhibition Run: July 11 - July 30

Aunt Charlie’s is one of the last working-class queer bars in San Francisco. In Aunt Charlie's Angels, visual artist Tim Snyder captures the glittery greatness of the Grand Ducal Council of San Francisco, a charitable organization with strong ties to Aunt Charlie’s, its performers, and its patrons. The Grand Ducal Council provides grants to communities and individuals (such as trans folk) who are often marginalized by civic fundraising structures.

Visual artist Tim Snyder has been pursuing drawing, fashion illustration, and mixed media art since grade school. Snyder attended Art Institute of Pittsburgh (1977-1980) and worked in graphic design (with ad art in the Washington Blade), but it is truly clothing that gives him deep joy. Snyder has been featured in SF Chronicle and maintains a low-key celebrity status in local art circles. His recent exhibition, Family Jewels, was launched at Castro Country Club with a remarkable 13 out of 20 pieces selling. His forthcoming LGBTQ fiber exhibition at Green Leaf Gallery (in Beaver Meadows, Pennsylvania) is set for this coming Fall.
