Queer Art Showcase 2025 Artist Application

The Moxy South Beach is the host venue for the fifth edition of Queer Art Showcase. The event which welcomes art lovers, collectors and the curious, celebrates the artistic expression and creativity of LGBTQIA+ artists, all of which are drawn from South Florida’s flourishing queer arts scene. Presented to the public for free, Queer Art Showcase provides artists with an opportunity to engage with attendees to promote and sell their work, and for everyone to come together and be part of a community event that celebrates the transformative power of art. All proceeds of art sales go directly to the artists.

In an effort to grow, promote and increase the visibility of South Florida LGBTQIA+ artists to educate and develop meaningful interactions between artists and community attendees Miami Beach Pride is currently accepting submissions for the 5th edition of Queer Art Showcase to take place on Monday, March 31, 2025 from 6:30 – 9:30 pm at Moxy South Beach, 915 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, as part of the 17th edition of Miami Beach Pride 2025.
