Art Gallery Open

This June, Produce® Bar & Gallery and Joey Gonzalez proudly presents “Day Dreaming Ourselves Awake,” an LGBTQIA+ art exhibit that delves into the power of dreams as a catalyst for change and self-discovery. From June 2nd to the 30th, at 419 Peoples St, Corpus Christi, TX 78401, experience a diverse array of artistic expressions that explore queerness through the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious self. This exhibit is a powerful reminder of the transformative potential of dreams, as they offer marginalized communities the opportunity to reimagine their present and envision a more inclusive future.

Submissions are now open for all LGBTQIA+ artists working in any medium. Whether you’re a painter, sculptor, or photographer, we invite you to share your unique perspective. Please note that participants under the age of 18 must complete the legal guardian section on the entry form. The submission deadline is Friday, May 19th, 2023. Send photographs of your proposed artwork to cctxprideart@gmail.com with the subject line “Day Dreaming Ourselves Awake.”
