Big Gay Art Show
December 7-23, 2022

– Application Deadline: October 7, 2022

Open to all members and allies of the LGBT+ community.

Take advantage of the opportunity to be juried into this amazing show!

In December 2022, the Big Gay Art Show will return to the Sedona Arts Center exhibition schedule. The Big Gay Art Show is a juried art show that exhibits and sells artwork in support of the LGBTQ+ community and allies. In the past, Sedona Arts Center hosted and promoted this event. We are now running and hosting the event at the request of Sedona Pride. The show will run from December 7-23, 2022.

The Big Gay Art Show is a much anticipated, well attended exhibition open to all artists in any medium and of any level. In 2012, the Big Gay Art Show was conceptualized by a small group – some connected to SAC and others in the Sedona Pride organization. The event began as an effort to offer the LGBTQ+ community a voice in the local art scene. Since that first show, SAC has welcomed hundreds of emerging and professional artists to Sedona to share their work throughout the history of the event. We are excited to offer this event through the Arts Center in 2022.
