Interested in submitting your work for G.A.G.S. (A Gay Ass Group Show)?
We're currently taking submissions for GAGS, a celebration of queer creativity, expression, and community in all its brilliance. This year’s exhibition will be juried and open to artists working in all mediums. We invite submissions that explore themes of queerness, identity, transformation, love, resistance, chosen family, and self-expression in all its forms.
​
GAGS (Gay Ass Group Show) welcomes work that is bold, joyful, defiant, tender, political, playful, or unapologetically yourself. We are drawn to pieces that celebrate identity, challenge norms, honor queer histories, and imagine liberated futures. If it makes people feel seen, stirred, or sparked - it belongs here.
