The theme is open (meaning there is no set theme). All art themes must be PG13 (no gore, sexual acts etc. Tastefully drawn/painted nudes are okay. NO NUDE PHOTOGRAPHY), as it is a public location.

NO AI art! AI generated art will not be accepted. If you are caught submitting AI art you will be banned from all future shows. Same goes for any AI generated poetry.

The A in LGBTQIA DOES NOT stand for ally!

All work MUST be ready to hang/display when dropped off at the location. You may include a typed & printed artist statement, but it is optional. Jewelry must be able to be hung on a wall. Sculptures must be able to be hung on a wall due to gallery space restrictions. Folks with costumes/fashion must provide their own method of display (dummy/mannequin of some sort). More info about the space will be posted when it is received.

There will be free LGBTQ themed goodies, snacks, and canned/bottled drinks available during the opening (while supplies last). Fresh food will be available during the opening this year! Consume at your own risk. This is a dry event. No alcohol.

This show will be in down town Eureka this year at Two Street Art Lab. Plan accordingly and call ahead/contact location for accessibility information.
