Roosevelt Island will be celebrating Pride Month in June with RIVAA Gallery’ s annual LGBTQ+ artist exhibition. RIVAA Gallery is calling for artists to submit their ideas for participation in the exhibition.
According to RIVAA Gallery:
We’re thrilled to invite LGBTQ+ artists to participate in our upcoming exhibition themed “Pride & Prejudice” at RIVAA Gallery. This year’s theme explores the topic of identity and societal perception, focusing on both/either side of the title’s coin: the celebration of LGBTQ+ pride and the struggles against prejudice.
It is also a nod to Jane Austen’s celebrated novel. The exhibition is an open call for LGBTQ+ artists based in NYC & will feature works that reflect personal narratives, historical challenges, and visions of a more inclusive society.
The exhibition will showcase a diverse range of mediums, including painting, photography, sculpture, digital and video art, and mixed media. Feel free to express your interpretation of PRIDE & PREJUDICE (you can focus on either one or contrast both, etc.) through your art.
