JUNE MEMBERS Call for Art

 Submission Period: April 1–April 16, 2026 Midnight

Exhibition Dates: June 5 – June 28, 2026

Theme: Art as an Act of Rebellion

Rebellion can be loud or quiet, political or personal. It can be protest, joy, vulnerability, or radical self-expression.  This exhibition invites ASK MEMBER artists to share work that pushes boundaries, reclaims identity, questions norms, or celebrates the freedom to exist and create on your own terms.

  • Personal acts of resistance
  • Queer joy and visibility
  • Political or cultural protest
  • Breaking social, gender, or artistic boundaries
  • Reclaiming narratives and identities
