We all desperately need a distraction this week as the crucial mail-in ballots are counted and we build levees to hold back the flood of misinformation. Fortunately, FOR LGBTQIA+ ARTISTS in our community, we have just the thing. While we were forced to cancel our 16th Annual Juried Exhibition, our friends at WILLIAM WAY smartly shifted their 15th such event to an ONLINE FORMAT, meaning we have the first major CALL FOR ART in the neighborhood in quite some time. The show goes live in January BUT THE DEADLINE IS ALMOST HERE: this Friday, November 6, at 11:59 PM. Open to all media, it rises to the top as our definitive "critic's pick" among opportunities to show your work, especially with $1,200 in prize money to be awarded as well as a future gig for a trio of lucky artists: a three-person William Way show (which may be online or in person), also in 2021. And if you happen to need one more reason to enter, the show's juror is the one and only artist-activist-educator-convener (feel free to add more hyphenates!) HEATHER RAQUEL PHILLIPS. Yes, Heather will choose the work — and you will amplify your voice and broaden your audience! Say no more. Get those entries ready.
