Queer culture is dynamic, shaping and reshaping mainstream narratives while celebrating all identities. Contemporary Queer: A Love Letter highlights how artists explore and express queer identities through themes of intersectionality and visibility within and beyond the LGBTQIA2S+ community. This exhibition is a platform for art that challenges binaries, disrupts norms, and affirms the vibrancy of queer existence today. Gallery 263 invites U.S.-based artists of all backgrounds to submit work that embraces queer experiences. We welcome diverse media that engage with gender, sexuality, community, and resistance. Artists who identify as LGBTQIA2S+ and allies engaging thoughtfully with queer narratives are encouraged to apply. This national show is juried by co-board presidents and artists Lucy Yan and Laura Kathrein. All visual and performance media (2D, 3D, time-based) will be considered.
