# Teddy Sandoval: *Teddy Sandoval and the Butch Gardens School of Art* Sep 10, 2026 – Jan 10, 2027 · on view The first museum retrospective of Los Angeles artist Teddy Sandoval (1949–1995), whose prints, drawings and mail art played with codes of gender and masculinity. A central figure in Los Angeles’s queer and Chicanx art circles, Sandoval made prints, drawings, mail art and photocopies, many featuring his signature faceless man, often with a mustache. The title borrows the name of Butch Gardens, an early-1970s gay bar, which he turned into a one-member “school of art” for circulating work and staging shows. Work by other queer, Latinx and Latin American artists, including Marisol, Marta Minujín, Martin Wong and Joey Terrill, hangs alongside his. The touring show is curated by C. Ondine Chavoya and David Evans Frantz.
