Call for Artists: 

Stand with Us and Witness: Call for Artists in Response to the 2024 U.S. Election

 

The Bureau of Queer Art is issuing an urgent call for artists to submit work for an exclusive online exhibition hosted on Artsy that confronts the realities and aftermath of the 2024 U.S. election. Running from January 6th to April 6th, this exhibition will amplify queer voices and queer-allied creators whose work defies the narratives of exclusion and empowers our community in a rapidly shifting political landscape. 

 

Your Voice, Your Art, Our Collective Defiance

 

This is an open invitation for LGBTQIA+ artists and allies across all media—whether painting, digital, sculpture, or experimental formats—to submit up to three works that challenge the rhetoric and policies emerging from this election. As our rights, visibility, and freedoms hang in the balance, your art can ignite critical conversations, shape resistance, and inspire the path forward.  

 

Eligibility  

All queer and allied artists are invited to submit pieces that respond powerfully to themes of resilience, advocacy, unity, and identity. Your work should explore the impact of these political shifts on our communities and speak to how we can reclaim agency, imagination, and solidarity in the face of adversity.

 

Submission Guidelines  

- Submit up to three works for consideration.

- Submission Deadline: December 15, 2024

- Application Cost: $12.50

- Platform Fee: $35 if accepted

- Selected artists will gain visibility through Artsy, reaching an audience of collectors, allies, and supporters dedicated to queer resilience and expression.  

 

Selected works will form a call to action, probing the urgent questions of who we are and where we go from here. They will spotlight the quiet and loud acts of defiance that sustain our fight for representation, rights, and the strength to thrive.

 

Let your art speak the truth that history may overlook. Let it be our declaration, our resilience, our reclamation.
