Artist's PRIDE: Pieces of the Holistic World

This exhibition is part of the 2nd annual PRIDE in Petersburg. Perspectives Art Gallery is hosting its first PRIDE exhibit featuring artists who identify as LGBTQIA+. "Artist's PRIDE: Pieces of the Holistic World" is a safe place for LGBTQIA+ artists to be seen and appreciated for their art and a place for all community members to show their support for those artists. Artists are encouraged to submit work that is authentic to their voice. The work submitted can be any style regardless of specific theme, or it can be specifically relevant to LGBTQIA+ interests, life, or activism. Artists are encouraged to submit multiple pieces that reflect varying aspects of their artistic voice.

The opening reception will be held June 22 from 12-5pm with light refreshments served. Artwork must remain on exhibit through July 13. Three jurors will select the art to include in the show and award cash prizes: First ($100), Second ($50), and Third ($25). Any art sold will be available for purchase at the time of sale. There is a 5% commission to the gallery from each sale. Payments will be made on or before the last Friday of the month following the sale.
