Call for Art - The Future is Genderless |
The Future is Genderless asks us to question what the future of gender can be. We are in a time where body autonomy and rights to individuals' bodies are intertwined with the complexities of our identities as BIPOC, LGBTQ, and femme-embodied people.
The Future is Genderless is open to:
- All Oregon artists.
- We strongly encourage the Central Oregon community, COCC and OSU-Cascades students, staff, and faculty, especially those who are historically underrepresented in art museums and galleries, to apply.
