A considered selection.
Queer Art represents artists through periodic Open Calls. We look at every eligible submission in context: the strength of the work, the clarity of the practice and how it can contribute to the wider conversation across the gallery.
Who should apply
Visual practices with a distinct point of view.
LGBTQ+ artists
We welcome queer visual artists working internationally, at any career stage.
Multiple mediums
Painting, drawing, photography, digital art, sculpture, installation, mixed media, moving image and performance documentation.
A coherent practice
Submit a focused body of work that communicates your approach, ideas and visual language.
Work you can share
You must own or control the rights needed for Queer Art to review and, if selected, publish the submitted material.
