The DC LGBTQ+ Community Center has found a new home in bustling Shaw, right in Washington, D.C. This vibrant space isn't just another address; it's a canvas waiting eagerly. LGBTQ+ artists now have a fresh stage where their creative voices can sing loud and clear.
Discover our new digs in Shaw
Welcome! We're now at 1827 Wiltberger St., N.W. But this isn't just a new spot on a map. It's a thriving hub where every corner celebrates unique identities within our LGBTQ+ family. Artists, this means a chance like no other—to weave your art right here, in a place that's as colorful and diverse as our community itself.
Calling all LGBTQ+ artists
Whether you're capturing stories through painting, photography, or sculpture, your work has a place here. We're looking at you, artists from all walks—your creations can make this space sing with life and resilience. It's about filling these walls with pieces that echo our journeys and joys.
We're on a mission: let's tell tales that bind us through art. The works we showcase should transform this Center, making it not just welcoming but a true reflection—a living, breathing mosaic—of our rich culture and connection.
How artists can get involved
Ready? Submit your artwork via our open Google form by August 4. Share your art's medium, title, size, and price, plus a photo and your contact info. We're eager, and can't wait!
We'll select pieces through a fair, lottery-style process, so every artist has an equal shot—whether you're just starting out or you've been around. Keep an eye on your inbox on August 13 and 15; that's when we'll reveal which works will grace our walls.
Once chosen, your art will stand proud until it finds a new home. It doesn't end there, though—artists can choose if they wish, by donating part proceeds from sales, helping support our Center's programs and initiatives.
Art as a community pillar
Our Center isn't just a resource; it's a refuge, a celebration, a gathering ground. By decking our walls with diverse and strong artistic expressions, we're not just decorating; we're declaring our space one that's inviting and inclusive.
Art has always been our voice, our resistance. It captures personal and shared stories, advocates, and inspires change. Here, at our gallery, we showcase that power, giving artists a stage where their stories and talents can shine.
For more details about submitting or learning more about us, check out our Center's site.
Dive in, artists! Your contributions don't just bring visibility; they weave you right back in, threading your work through DC's LGBTQ+ story. This gallery? It's all about blending creativity with community spirit. We're eagerly waiting; show us what you've got!
As we grow, this gallery isn't just another project—it's our heart, beating with support and encouragement. So join us, make your mark, and let's keep celebrating our resilient culture together.
