The Gay Agenda

The Gay Agenda is a juried digital exhibition featuring work by queer artists across disciplines, perspectives, and practices.

This is not a show about what “queer art” is supposed to look like. It’s a show about who is making the work.

We are interested in the full range of creative expression from queer artists, without expectation or limitation. The work does not need to center identity, politics, or queerness as subject matter. It can, but it doesn’t have to. What matters is the voice behind it.

Bring us your best work. The piece you’re proud of. The one that feels like you.
