March 29th, 2025Entries open for Queerthentic art prize

Macedon Ranges Accessible Arts is calling for artists to take part in the 2025 Queerthentic Art Prize, with $2000 in prizes.  

Now in its third year, the regional LGBTIQA+ art prize will be hosted at The Old Auction House in Kyneton from May 1 to May 26 with the official opening aligning with IDAHOBIT (International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia, and Transphobia) on May 17.  

The exhibition celebrates lived experiences, amplifies under-represented voices, and builds connections within the broader community.

By creating a space where  queer artists can authentically express themselves without the pressure to conform, Queerthentic aims to foster empathy, challenge stereotypes, and spark meaningful  conversations.  

Applications are open until April 20.
