Pride in Community

Accepted artworks will be printed on vinyl banners and displayed on the fence surrounding The Old Stone House and Washington Park from June 1 – August 1, 2026. The exhibition seeks work by Queer artists that explores the privileges and responsibilities of community and intersectional identity. The exhibition will also take place online.

Selected artwork will be printed on 36 x 36 inch vinyl banners and displayed in a public outdoor exhibition, with original works listed for sale on the Arts Gowanus website.

Requirements
