Calling all LGBTQ Artists!

We are offering payment of £250 in total for each part of the project, covering preparation time, travel expenses, and hosting the workshop on the day of the event. A budget for materials can be requested but must be outlined in your application.

What We Are Looking For

• Passionate LGBTQ artists from diverse backgrounds and disciplines.

• Artists who can guide participants in creating artwork representing one of the colours of the LGBTQ flag (see further details below).

• Enthusiastic individuals eager to share their creativity and foster a sense of community through artistic expression.

• This workshop will be for people of all ages and backgrounds to make the workshop accessible to all. Please consider this when applying and submitting your idea. 

Workshop Details:

Six workshops held in different libraries across the county. Dates and times of the sessions can be found below:

RED – Gloucester | Saturday 8th June 11:00 – 15:00  

ORANGE – Cirencester| Saturday 8th June 11:00 – 15:00

Each library has been assigned a colour of the LGBTQ flag. Artists will guide participants in creating artwork representing one of the colours of the LGBTQ flag – we will then combine all artworks together for a touring exhibition. 

Artworks will focus on themes of love, queerness, self-expression, identity, and LGBTQ experiences.
