Mad was an artist, a creative, an athlete, a pioneer, an advocate, a lover, a giver. His legacy and work will be remembered and will continue to live on.

ALL FUNDS WILL BE DONATED TO THE MADDOX GALLERY. Any contribution is deeply appreciated. We love you Mad!

?To honor Maddox?s legacy, we are naming the gallery at our LGBTQ+ Center The Maddox Gallery and establishing a fund in his name to support trans, queer, and disabled artists. This fund is a commitment to carry forward what Maddox embodied every day: showing up for one another, listening deeply, creating boldly, being loud when it counts, and remembering to keep it fun.

Through this fund, we will also raise resources to support affirming mental health therapy and facilitated support groups for queer, trans, and disabled community members. Maddox understood that creativity and mental health are deeply connected?that art can be a lifeline, a place to process grief, joy, identity, and survival. Supporting access to therapy and community-based mental health care is a continuation of the care he offered simply by being himself.

This fund is about more than remembrance. It is about continuation. It is about ensuring that artists and community members who have been pushed to the margins have access to resources, visibility, healing, and belonging. It is about keeping creativity?and care?around us and around him always.

As Mad would say, this is our call to show up, to listen, and to be loud.?
