Constructing the Butch Gardens: Student-led tour of ‘Teddy Sandoval and the Butch Gardens School of Art’

Join Lina Pacheco ’25 for "Constructing the Butch Gardens," a student-led interactive tour of the "Teddy Sandoval and the Butch Gardens School of Art" exhibition, on view through Dec 22.

Visitors will learn about the Butch Gardens bar that inspired Teddy’s School of Art and discussing how Sandoval and other artists used their practice to develop spaces that celebrated queer Latinx bodies during a period of revolutionary Chicano/a/x activism in California and at the peak of the AIDS pandemic.

The tour will be given Saturday, November 2, at 2 p.m. in English and Sunday, November 3, at 2 p.m. in Spanish.

The event will take place in the upper galleries of WCMA. Visitors can enter through the main museum door and will need to take stairs or an elevator up to the galleries. There is limited parking directly outside the museum on Lawrence Hall Drive but ample parking nearby on public streets and in public lots. Please refer to the map on our Visit page for other parking options.
