20th annual juried art exhibition

Now announcing our open call for our 20th Annual Juried Art Exhibition! The William Way LGBT Community Center’s Annual Juried Art Exhibition is the longest running annual LGBTQ+ art exhibition in the region. This year will be especially notable, as it is our 20th anniversary of the exhibition, and will serve as a kick-off for the Center’s approaching 50th Anniversary in 2026!

Additionally, this year we are excited to have Stamatina Gregory serve as juror! Stamatina Gregory is the Head Curator and Director of Exhibitions and Collections at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art, which is the only dedicated LGBTQIA+ art museum in the world.

This opportunity is open to Philadelphia-area artists (in Philadelphia and its surrounding counties: Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, or Bucks Counties in Pennsylvania; Camden, Gloucester, or Burlington Counties in New Jersey) who are 18 and over who identify as LGBTQIA+. The exhibition is free to apply to and participate in, and there is $1,200 in awards!

Exhibition Dates: Nov 6 - Dec 16, 2025
