The Art of Protest
Open Call for Artists
Aire Place Studios x The Mill Gallery invites LGBTQIA+ artists to submit work for an upcoming exhibition exploring art as a protest. This exhibition will celebrate queer creativity, resilience, and resistance showcasing how art can challenge injustice, amplify voices, and build community.
​
We’re looking for work that speaks to protest in all its forms: from political and social movements to personal acts of defiance, and from righteous anger to radical joy. Work can respond to LGBTQIA+ rights, climate justice, anti-racism, disability activism, or any other protest themes important to you.
​
We also welcome pieces that centre LGBTQIA+ joy because celebration can be a protest too.
​
This exhibition will run alongside our workshop Art of Protest: Creative Solidarity with the Trans Community, and aims to be a space for expression, connection, and visibility.
​
Deadline for this Open Call is 11:59pm BST on May 30th, 2025.
