Artfully Queer is Tasmania’s longest running and biggest annual LGBTQIA+ community art exhibition produced by TasPride and curated by Phoebe Adams. The exhibition is open to all Tasmanian queer creatives with works form a wide variety of creative disciplines. ​
​
The Artfully Queer Exhibition has become an annual cultural barometer for the Tasmanian LGBTIQA+ community, with themes selected to reflect and channel the zeitgeist of the times.
This is not the official AQ25 graphic, it's just a place holder.
After consulting with artists and creatives from the 2025 Artfully Queer Exhibition the theme chosen for 2026 is LOVE, because the world needs more of it!
​
Artfully Queer is open to all LGBTIQA+ Tasmanian creatives and our families. You must be a TasPride member to enter your art in the exhibition. Under 18's do not need to be a member to enter their art in Artfully Queer. You can also ask for an exemption if you are experiencing financial hardship. Inclusion is our goal.
Entry forms will be available from August 2026
