Short Description:
Gallery 263 is hosting the Contemporary Queer Exhibition, a platform for U.S.-based artists to submit artwork exploring queer identities, intersectionality, and visibility. The exhibition celebrates queer experiences by embracing fluidity, defying binaries, and engaging with themes of gender, sexuality, community, and resistance. Artists who identify as LGBTQIA2S+ and allies thoughtfully engaging with queer narratives are encouraged to apply. The exhibition is open to a wide range of media and seeks works that challenge norms while affirming the vibrancy of queer existence.
The application requires an entry fee of $25 for 1-3 submissions or $40 for 4-6 submissions. Gallery 263 also offers discounts or waived fees for volunteers. Artists must ensure that shipped artwork complies with size and shipping restrictions, and a UPS return shipping label must be included. The exhibition will be juried by Laura Kathrein and Lucy Yan, with notifications sent by May 16.
