William Way Community Center

Silver Legs, Uncrossed 

The William Way LGBT Community Center, in collaboration with the Dyke+ ArtHaus and as a part of (re)FOCUS, will showcase older Lesbian artists during the month of April when Lesbian Visibility Day and Lesbian Visibility Week are celebrated.

We invite Lesbian artists 55 and older to submit work that reflects a pivotal period in their practice when they felt either the most visible or the most invisible - to the world, or to themselves. In defiance of an ageist, misogynist, and lesbophobic world, in protest against social expectations, both low and high. We are particularly interested in receiving submissions from Black, brown, Indigenous, and people of color, trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming Lesbian artists. All forms of visual art are eligible including collage, drawing, painting, photography, prints, multimedia, sculpture, video, and outdoor installation.

We are particularly interested in receiving submissions from Black, brown, Indigenous, and people of color, trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming Lesbian artists.
