Arts Whistler is inviting Sea to Sky artists to help shape Out/side, a new exhibit centred on queer identity, belonging and visibility running from May 27 to July 18 at the Maury Young Arts Centre.
Created in partnership with Whistler Rainbow Connection, the show will explore how queer residents define themselves in a region more often defined by sport and recreation.
“That slash that’s in [the title], that’s letting people know you can bring your queer side out into the public space—talk about visibility, about feeling included or excluded, connection, building community [and] showing up as your full self in the shows that we do here,” says Arts Whistler curator Jessica Brown.
Applications for artists located from Lions Bay all the way to Lillooet are open until April 13, with selected artists notified April 17 and artwork due by May 16.
