About the application

After the Rainbow... 


What comes after the rainbow?
When the parade ends what's left?
How do we envision our collective future shaped by queer joy, connection, and community?
When the sun comes up what does it shine on?


These are the questions we ask ourselves as we look to artists in our community to help us  dream, heal, imagine and make possible our shared future. We are putting together a community show at the Pride Cultural Arts Center featuring LGBTQIA2S+ artists to help us envision this future. All submissions from artists 13 years and older are invited to submit 1 piece for consideration with priority given to Minnesota and Twin Cities metro based artists.
