Are you a hobby artist? Do you love to paint and draw? Are you a photographer or a digital artist?

Be part of our LGBTQ+: Politics in Art exhibition

As part of LGBT History Month (February 2022), we are looking to commission seven pieces of art by LGBTQ+ student and staff artists about their experiences in lockdown; the emotions, the feelings, the positives and the negatives. These can be any format, for example a painting, photograph, digital image, collage, poem or piece of writing.

All pieces will form part of the LGBTQ+: Politics in Art exhibition, which will be displayed in the Keynes College Atrium throughout February 2022. 

Student Services will be offering £300 for each piece, plus £50 towards the cost of materials.

Submission requirements

• Each piece must be able to be wall hung (unfortunately we cannot support video or sound projection submissions).
• Each piece must reflect either your personal, or the LGBTQ+ community experience of being in lockdown – be that positive or negative.
• Each piece must be completed by the end of January 2022 and with us, ready for installation on the 31 January 2022.
• The artists should identify within the LGBTQ+ community.

If you have an existing work of art that you feel meets the brief then you are able to submit that.

The seven available spaces will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Get in touch

If you are interested in submitting a piece for the exhibition, please contact Becky Lamyman, Student EDI Officer on rsl7@kent.ac.uk ASAP or by 21 January 2022.
