The Bureau of Queer Art 2024

The Bureau of Queer Art is a social media and print magazine for contemporary Queer and Allied artists to explore representation, identity, and themes of outsiderness. The publication seeks artists to feature in the upcoming issue and coinciding exhibition. Selected artists will receive either a feature (1-3 pages with write-up and pictorial) or a full article (3-6 pages with write-up, interview, and full pictorial spread). Select artists will be interviewed for the podcast available on all podcast platforms. Featured artists receive a gratis copy of the issue.

Selected artists will participate in a 3-month online exclusive exhibition listed on the gallery's website and ARTSY sales platform.
