Youth Pride, Art Shows, Pride Walk, & Anthology
OUT Maine has partnered with the Center for Maine Contemporary Art (CMCA), Rock City Cafe in Rockland, and and MCHT’s Erickson Fields Preserve in Rockpor to bring LGBTQIA2S+ and allied youth and young adults’ art and writing to Midcoast Maine during Pride Month (June).
This year’s theme for submitted works is Queer Joy. What does queer joy mean to you? What does it look like, feel like, sound like?
Submit your art, photography, and/or writing using the Media Forms below. We accept media all year, but to be in the upcoming art show or anthology, you must submit your media no later than May 23rd, 2025.
