Upcoming - Grace MQ
Opening May 16th, 2026 - "Lady Praxis"
On May 16th, Antonio Gallery will be opening their newest show "Lady Praxis" by Grace Carter Mercado-Quinn! "Praxis" is defined as the process of putting theory into action. Mercado-Quinn describes Lady Praxis as “a phrase that represents the effects of women being pressured to internalize and follow the values of the societal patriarchy. Lady Praxis is the tension-filled process of untethering and dismantling the effects of internalized sexism.” Her pieces explore the ways in which unconventional portrayals of women’s bodies become taboo, transgressive, abject, or even monstrous. She explores the importance of the dialectic between language and imagery, as many of her pieces interweave her visual pieces with her poetry.

Georgia Fernandez is a young gallerist who opened Antonio Gallery in September 2025, creating a space rooted in community and creativity. Raised around art, she learned from her parents and their friends in the early 2000s Chinatown art scene, many of whom became mentors. After her father passed in 2020, she decided to name the gallery Antonio in his memory. She aims to create a space where artists feel comfortable, excited to work, and have full creative control over their exhibitions.
