In celebration of PRIDE, The Bunker, SLO County Arts Council and the Gala Pride & Diversity Center invite people of all ages to submit art inspired by their Story of Self for the Pride: Who Am I? art show. The exhibit will take place in June in celebration of Pride.
In 2023, The Pride Center & The Bunker produced a photographic exhibit – We Are Family – which showcased the diverse makeup of LGBTQ+ families living on the Central Coast. In 2024, we are seeking artists from the LGBTQ+ community working in two- and three- dimensional fine art media to express who they are. Focused on the artists’ present Story of Self, Who Am I? allows room for artists to move outside of the labels that qualify them as members of queer spaces and represent themselves fully, focusing on whichever aspects of themselves they are called to show in their artwork.
One work of art will be selected as the featured piece for the event. The selected piece will be featured on all promotional and marketing materials. The featured artist will receive a stipend and recognition at the opening reception.
Who Am I? will be hosted by The Bunker. Nestled in San Luis Obispo’s “LoBro neighborhood”, The Bunker is a fresh addition to the city’s cultural landscape. With its 800-square foot gallery space, this innovative venue beckons both art enthusiasts and the local community. Conveniently located where the train tracks intersect Orcutt Road, accessibility by bike or foot enhances its inclusivity.
