About Call for Submissions: Belonging

‘Pride’ by Daniel Fobert

Intergenerational Art Installation & Storytelling Event
Quinte Arts Council Cultural Hub
Exhibition: June (Pride Month)

The Quinte Arts Council in collaboration with Bay of Quinte PRIDE invites artists and community members of all ages to participate in a special exhibition celebrating the theme of Belonging.

This unique installation will highlight intergenerational voices, bringing together perspectives from youth, adults, and seniors to explore what belonging means within 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and beyond.

What We’re Looking For

We welcome submissions in a wide range of mediums, including:

  • Visual art (painting, drawing, photography, mixed media)
  • Textile and craft-based work
  • Written pieces (poetry, short reflections)
  • Small-scale installations

Works may explore identity, connection, acceptance, community, resilience, or personal experiences of belonging.

Storytelling Component

In addition to the exhibition, participants are invited to take part in a “Show & Story” evening, where artists and community members can share personal queer stories, reflections, or the inspiration behind their work in a welcoming, inclusive space.

Intergenerational Focus

We strongly encourage submissions that:

  • Reflect collaboration across generations, or
  • Share perspectives from different life stages

Whether you are emerging, established, or simply curious to share your voice—your story matters.

Key Details

  • Exhibition Dates: Throughout June
  • Location: QAC Cultural Hub
