Queer and Trans* Art Submission Opportunities

Art is always THE way to express whatever you want to express. And you have the opportunity to show off your talent!

The ASUW Queer Student Commission is creating “QArt”, a Queer and Trans* Art Book, as well as the QT Art and Poetry Show in Parnassus Cafe. Your artwork will be collected in the book, and your talent may be presented in the art building’s cafe for all students to see!

There is only one requirement – your work should be queer related. What is queer? Queer is community and solidarity; queer is a voice shouting out “We need no labels!”; queer spirits symbolize the diversity of the world. There aren’t many restrictions surrounding the artwork; just that it be queer-related.

There are three opportunities for submission, one for the Queer and Trans* Art Book, one for the QT Art and Poetry Show, and one for the Qolors Art Walk (organized by the Q Center, ECC and QPOCA). The details for each can be found below:

QT Art and Poetry Show

Promiscuous and/or crude imagery is disallowed by Parnassus. Any such submissions will only be presented in Queer and Trans* Art Book. Paintings and poetry are encouraged because they can easily be presented.

We will try to present as many pieces as possible. However, the space in Parnassus is limited. If you wish to request a spot, send an email to lzy94@uw.edu.

If we get submissions early enough, we might be able to book an extended art showcase (art placed in Parnassus for a month). However, we currently anticipate being able to have a one night showcase.

Please submit your work electronically for our consideration (preferably an image in PDF or JPG format). Please keep the original work for yourself.

Queer and Trans* Art Book

There will be a printed version as well as an online version of the book.

Please submit your work electronically for our consideration (preferably an image in PDF or JPG format). Please keep the original work for yourself.

If you wish to request a slot, send an email to lzy94@uw.edu.
