“The Further (Queer) Adventures of Yukon Cornelius” is a solo art show by Dayton artist Jerome Stueart, reimagining the red-bearded prospector from the 1964 Christmas special, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” as a gay man whose whole life is helping monsters, “Hiddens,” adapt to the world of people around them. Giant-sized acrylic paintings and smaller watercolors examine queer life and issues through the lens of monsters and heroes. Stueart, a World Fantasy Award nominee in Short Fiction, has written stories to go with the paintings which you can read through QR codes on the paintings or hear in a reading Sunday afternoon as part of an artist’s talk. (They will also be available on his website, jeromestueart.com, by December 10) Yukon Cornelius was created by Romeo Müller and is in the public domain. A special wall will celebrate Müller, a gay Jewish writer who penned many well-beloved movies. Event is FREE and open to the public. Light refreshments served Friday. Mature Content.
