Call for Art

What Pride Looks Like

The Oxford Community Arts Center invites artists of all backgrounds - especially LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies - to submit work for an upcoming group exhibition celebrating Pride. This Call For Art is open and accessible to all artists in the tri-state area, and we welcome a wide range of perspectives and experiences.

We’re looking for contemporary 2D and 3D works that reflect, explore, and elevate the LGBTQ+ experience. Show us what Pride means to you, through identity, community, diversity, and celebration. Whether bold or subtle, joyful or reflective, your voice matters here.

We strongly encourage LGBTQ+ artists to submit work, and we’re committed to providing an inclusive platform for creative expression.
