3rd Annual Queer Conscience Group Photography Exhibition
We probably don't need to inform you that queer rights are under attack unlike ever before. Abuses of power - ranging from executive orders that strictly define federally recognized gender identities to state resolutions seeking to overturn marriage equality - find our political leaders fomenting fascist ideologies in order to divide the working class and create a scapegoat of our queer neighbors.
Deadline: April 12, 2025
Deadline: April 12, 2025
Submission Fee: $35 non-refundable registration fee. Artists may submit up to 5 images for review.
Eligibility: This call is open to all photographers who consider themselves members of the LGBTQIA2+ community; we absolutely cherish and love our straight friends and allies, but for this exhibit we hope to amplify queer voices.
This national call for entry is open to all photographic artists living or working in the United States and its territories. All entries must be original works of art and entirely the work of the entrant. Accepted entries will be exhibited at The Image Flow in San Anselmo, CA and in our online gallery.
The Image Flow invites photographic artists closely tied to the LGBTQIA2+ community to submit work to our 3rd Annual juried photography exhibition Queer Conscience 2025.
We probably don't need to inform you that queer rights are under attack unlike ever before. Abuses of power - ranging from executive orders that strictly define federally recognized gender identities to state resolutions seeking to overturn marriage equality - find our political leaders fomenting fascist ideologies in order to divide the working class and create a scapegoat of our queer neighbors.
Queer Conscience seeks to push back against these forces and affirm our own truths through the photographic medium. In this juried exhibition set to coincide with Pride month, we ask queer artists to express their resistance, and share their truest queer journeys with us. Join us in celebrating our community and our creativity with a clear conscience.

A fundraising campaign will nearly match the amount funded by the 1% program.
The Deschutes Public Library administration appointed a Public Art Selection Committee (Art Committee), comprised of local artists, a project architect and community advocates, to represent the towns served by library branches. The Art Committee will make recommendations to the library administration for final approval.
VISION: Deschutes Public Library Art Collection - Diverse, Inclusive and Inspirational
The renovations and new construction throughout the entire library district bring the opportunity for the district to build a new art collection. Art in all six Deschutes Public Library branches will be diverse in both concept and material. Works will be traditional and non-traditional and possess a lasting endurance. The DPL Art Committee seeks works in all media and genres: Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture, Glass, Fiber, Functional, Digital, Photography, Installation, Mixed Media, New media/genres. Suspended from ceilings, mounted on walls, embedded in floors, anchoring a public space, works will exist in both expected and unexpected places within the building and on library grounds.

Second: Invite artists who have pre-qualified by inclusion in the roster to submit proposals for specific artwork commissions in one or more library branches.
