Calling all local artists in the Washington, D.C. region. The Washington Blade and Dupont Underground are excited to bring back a new exhibition during Pride month.
This exhibition will celebrate artwork exploring the nuances in how people identify their gender and the fluidity within labeled identities and orientations. Gender identity is a personal conception of oneself as man, woman, both, neither, or something new. Art has been a way for creative individuals to investigate, challenge, and express their thoughts and ideas. In Dupont Underground & the Washington Blade’s next show, our hope is to exhibit artworks collected from this open call, reflecting, exploring, or celebrating gender identity through art. A blind jury will review the submissions.

The exhibition will be held at Dupont Underground (19 Dupont Circle, N.W., Washington, D.C.) from June 4-26, 2022.
