Artist Application

Hey there, we are SO happy you’re here and cannot wait to see what you do!

We are accepting applications from ALL Bay Area Queer artists who work in ALL mediums. With that said, as a Castro based business in a space with such rich history, we strive to build on that legacy by promoting representation where it has been historically lacking. Our priority is to show the work of disenfranchised, emerging, and underrepresented artists. In addition, we want to give as many people a chance to see your work, so we have extended each show from one month to two!

This application is for the exhibitions being shown February 16th - April 2nd and April 6th-June 4th. Please specify in your application if you have a preference of which show you would like to be part of.

Let us say, we know that applications feel like a PROCESS. Our goal is to reduce barriers Bay Area artists face in getting their work out into the world, so come as you are! We understand that people shine in different ways, and want to provide an accessible way for everyone to complete this application. We’d love to get to know you and your work on your terms, and you can apply in any of the following ways: written response, upload a video or audio clip with your answers, or reach out to devlin@queerartsfeatured.com to schedule a Zoom or in person interview. If you have any other accessibility questions or needs please reach out as well. We value all forms of communication, and as creative beings we know there are many!

Selected artists will be part of a two month group show in our gallery, with groups ranging from 2-5 artists per show. Remember, this is a space to celebrate, experiment, provoke, and explore, so think outside the box and show us how you see the world. We can’t wait to see!!

The submission deadline for this application round is Monday, January 30th. Thank you for being a part of the Queer A.F. community, and please reach out with any questions!
