Any artsy people on here?😘

🎨Calling all Creatives!

APPLICATIONS FOR THE PRIDE ART EXHIBITION 2026 ARE OPEN UNTIL 30 APRIL 2026!
art is back to facilitate the Pride Art Exhibition with Maidstone Pride for 2026! 🤩, we're also so lucky to be partnering with , the new Creative Hub on Gabriel's Hill.

We invite artists who want to explore and express what q***rness means to them — how it shapes their lives, relationships, and sense of self. This exhibition is about pride in all its forms: loud and defiant, quiet and tender, joyful, political, and deeply personal.

We welcome a wide range of creative practices, including film, painting, performance, music, and poetry. By bringing together different voices and disciplines, the exhibition creates a shared space where stories can be told, heard, and celebrated. It also offers emerging and underrepresented artists the opportunity to showcase their work, gain recognition, and connect with the local community in a supportive and affirming environment.

Following the great success of last year’s exhibition, we return with a renewed focus on the importance of pride and identity. This year, we aim to go deeper — not just celebrating visibility, but also highlighting meaning, connection, and the power of q***r expression to inspire, challenge, and unite.

You can read information about the exhibition and find the application here: https://maidstonepride.co.uk/maidstone-pride-art-exhibition-2026/
