Theme
“PRIDE” is a call for a visual art exhibit designed to celebrate queer community in honor of International Pride Month. The exhibit is a precursor to Pride celebrations held in June. Artists are encouraged to present works that celebrate the unique sense of pride & celebrate diversity for the community. Artists are encouraged to submit meaningful works underscoring identity, love, sexuality, gender, lifestyle and diversification. Show what your Pride means to you.

With this curated group exhibition “PRIDE”, Arts to Hearts is excited to document & share about several expressions in context to the celebration of diversification, gender & identity and so much more via the medium of visual arts.
