Call For Art: Queer Futures

Gallery X invites artists to submit works in all media to Queer Futures, a Pride Month exhibition about our community’s dreams for the future. We welcome visions of utopia, the fall of empire, queer sci-fi, solarpunk, works inspired by Afro- and Indigenous Futurism, or visualizations of personal hopes and dreams. Broad interpretations of the theme are welcome. You don’t have to be LGBTQIA+ to submit, although queer and/or BIPOC artists are highly encouraged to show their work! Thanks to the New Bedford Cultural Council, submissions are free. This exhibition is open to submissions from all artists working in any medium, work may be submitted during Gallery hours or by appointment beginning May 6. The deadline for submissions is Sunday, May 17. When submissions are brought to Gallery X the artist will fill out a submission slip with basic contact and labeling information. We are also seeking queer local artists to contribute to a special installation, the Queer Futures time capsule, a vessel full of artifacts, objects, and messages from our imagined queer descendants 500 years in the future. If you are interested in being part of that project, please e-mail the curator at [email protected] for more details.
