It Was All Very Queer

The St. Louis Artists Guild is proud to present ‘It Was All Very Queer,’ a national juried exhibition examining contemporary queer artists residing within the United States. The exhibition examines contemporary queer artists work which investigates identity, social norms, inclusivity, and the celebration of being queer. 

The St. Louis Artists Guild believes the artists within the queer community are an underrepresented group within the arts and deserve a space to express their creativity and art.
