Queer Youth Initiative - Community Art

Description

Art has pushed the envelope in social and cultural conversation for as long as humans could make art and/or carry out a conversation. The Queer community has had a very strong presence in the art world from the start. Many great creators and artists not only identified as a member of the Alphabet community, but that they also used their art to bring the human side to the issues faced by our community. It is our hope in this youth initiative to connect our communities to the real human issues faced everyday by the LGBTQIA2+ community. This initiative gives business owners and young artists the opportunity to contribute to social progress. This page serves to provide the first glimmers of ideas for grasping the possibilities in this initiative. Whether designing something small for a small space, or something massive for a large space, we are extending this opportunity to bring the community together through art. The possibilities are endless and we are so very excited to offer this opportunity!

Do you have a fresh design, skill, or art work that itching to be seen?

If you are one or more of the following:
* Washington resident
* artist
* interested in coordinating art installations
* under the age of 23 (ish)
* member of the LGBTQIA2+ community
Please consider submitting your art for this initiative.

We are partnering with young local artists and businesses to advance community understanding and conversation on issues relevant to LGBTQIA2+ youth.
At the moment, the call is open as we do not have a close date (yet). We are actively recruiting businesses to host and art to install. So spread the word!

Artist? - Interested in submitting your art or helping to install an art piece?
Site? - Interested in hosting an art installation at your Washington business, agency, or other public facing space?
Other? - If you have questions or ideas about how else to contribute, reach out!
