June 27th ARTIST LOFT OUTING
Queer Conscience Art Gallery
Opening Reception
The LOFT, curated by our very own Resident Artivist Sphynxx, is thrilled to present a powerful exhibition titled "Queer Conscience" at the Bethany Arts Community (BAC)!
What is a Queer Conscience?
It's that inner compass, that guiding voice that shapes our sense of right and wrong, but filtered through the unique lens of LGBTQIA2+/ Queer experiences. It's about grappling with societal pressures, celebrating our chosen families, and fighting for a world that truly embraces / celebrates authenticity and uniqueness.
"Queer Conscience" delves into the powerful concept of the inner compass, often recalibrated by societal norms and expectations. Navigating a world that often clashes with their core identity. Through various artistic mediums, the exhibit promises a journey that is both introspective and defiant.
Join us as we celebrate the complexities of the LGBTQIA2+ experience and the unwavering strength of our community's moral compass.
Expect a diverse range of works that challenge, inspire, and spark conversations. Witness how artists navigate the often-conflicting messages of their inner truth and the external world.
Expect to be moved by:
*A diverse range of artistic mediums, from thought-provoking paintings and sculptures.
Works that explore themes of identity, sexuality, gender expression, social justice, and the ongoing fight for equality.
*A space for open dialogue, connection, and celebrating the creative spirit of our community.
Whether you're an established artist or just starting out, "Queer Conscience" welcomes your voice!
Stay tuned for:
