The 9th Annual PROUD+ Exhibition will be held June 19 – July 31, 2026, during San Diego Pride Month, showcasing the work of LGBTQ+ artists from across the country. Produced by The Studio Door, this national exhibition celebrates the unique perspectives and voices of the LGBTQ+ community through contemporary art.

For nearly a decade, PROUD+ has provided a vital platform for LGBTQ+ artists to express their creativity, identity, and lived experiences. From bold declarations of self to quiet explorations of inner worlds, this exhibition seeks to highlight the richness and diversity of LGBTQ+ life and culture. Artists are invited to submit works that reflect their own interpretations of pride, resilience, and community. We encourage artists to share their truth, amplify their voice, and contribute to the ongoing conversation around LGBTQ+ identity in the arts.

THE CROW SHOW 2026 is the celebratory 12th anniversary of the national exhibition of visual arts running February 20 – April 3, 2026, produced by The Studio Door. As we enter a new decade of this beloved exhibition, The Crow Show continues to showcase diverse artistic interpretations of our feathered neighbor, the Crow.

For over a decade, The Crow Show has been a celebrated tradition in San Diego, uniting artists from across the nation in a shared fascination with the enigmatic crow. Revered in cultures around the world, the crow has long been a symbol of mystery, transformation, and intelligence. Whether as a harbinger of change or a messenger of hope, these birds captivate our imaginations. This annual exhibition invites artists to explore the crow’s many faces—whether rooted in reality or soaring through the realms of fantasy. What does the crow embody for you? We invite you to share your unique vision [Creative interpretations of all black birds, ravens, and other Corvus species are welcome].
