Pride Month Exhibition

PINK.

We’re looking for bold, powerful, and thought-provoking works for "PINK", our 2025 Pride Month exhibition. This show will explore the resilience of LGBTQIA+ identity in a hostile political climate, honoring the history of the pink triangle and its lasting impact. From protest to pride, the pink triangle has been reclaimed as a symbol of resistance, visibility, and strength.

CALL TO ARTISTS ENDS MAY 8TH, 2025

Call For Replenish Residencies

Replenish Residencies provide one-to-two-week restorative visioning retreats to South Louisiana BIPOC artists and culture bearers. In light of the many racial disparities still present in our society at large and the arts economy specifically, we offer these residencies to BIPOC artists to provide time to rest and restore, vision and create.

The call is open to BIPOC artists and culture bearers from South Louisiana who have not attended a residency before. Recipients will be provided with a $2,000 stipend, a one to two week residency, room and board, staff support and a $300 professional development budget to have a documentation session with a photographer, attend a workshop, or go on a field trip such as boat rides or eco/history tours.

Proposals Due April 7th 2025

The Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge invites local LGBTQIA+ artists to create a work in response to the presence of the "pink triangle" in LGBTQIA+ history and contemporary culture. 

This exhibition will open to the public on May 19 and conclude on June 30, 2025.
