Beyond Ex-Gay (bXg) and the Memphis Gay and Lesbian Community Center will host an art show with works by those whose lives have been negatively affected by the ex-gay movement. This could include former ex-gays, as well as spouses, children, parents, and friends of former ex-gays.
In the summer of 2007, at the Ex-Gay Survivor Conference in Irvine, Beyondexgay.com organized a similar art show that helped to communicate how for many of us ex-gay experiences caused more harm than good. Beyondexgay.com also features art by ex-gay survivors at its online gallery.
Submissions of all types of visual art are welcome including drawings, painting, collage, mixed media, photography, or multimedia. Please send photos of your work, along with dimensions, a brief statement about the work, and any other information by February 13th, 2008 to bxg (at) beyondexgay.com
We cannot guarantee that we will feature your artwork, but our panel will review your submission and contact you with further details.

ReplyDeleteI woke up at 4 am and had nothing to do so I read my blogs and saw this.
ReplyDeleteThen I went back to sleep and dreamt about this amazing and huge painting I did and sent to you.
I don't know how it will turn out but now I at least have a canvas in the right size.
Thanks for the inspiration girl!
(and I haven't done anything artsy for a loong time so it is a rare thing for someone to give me)
