Exhibition Statement: 

You Made It! celebrates the relief of arrival and the hard won beauty of belonging. Through intimate scenes, gentle gestures, and affirming spaces, the exhibition centers queer artists’ construction of home, comfort, and connection. These works invite viewers into a place where nothing needs to be explained, a reminder that sometimes, simply being is enough.

Artist Prompt:

From your perspective as a queer artist, reflect on senses of safety, belonging, or quiet joy. Consider spaces, relationships, routines, or moments where identity feels affirmed and at rest. Let the work exist without tension or resolution, let it be rooted instead in comfort, presence, and being seen.

Submission Guidelines:

Please submit photos of 4-10 finished pieces, artist bio (250 words max), and website to info@folddtla.com.

If chosen, you will be contacted directly via email with drop off instructions and consignment details.
