Washington Studio School invites LGBTQIA+ artists and allies to submit work that celebrates the beauty, complexity, and strength of queer existence for our upcoming exhibition, A Matter of Pride. Through this exhibition, we aim to create space — for joy, resistance, softness, strength, identity, solidarity, and celebration. Whether your work is bold or tender, personal or political, your voice matters.⁣

We seek visual stories grounded in resilience, defiance, love, becoming, and the vibrant spectrum of queer experience. All 2D works are welcome. We encourage artists from all identities within the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, and of all experience levels, from emerging to established, to apply.⁣
