Washington Studio School is proud to present A Matter of Pride, a celebration of the rich, multifaceted experiences of LGBTQIA+ artists and their allies. This exhibition brings together visual stories that speak to the beauty, strength, and complexity of queer existence — stories rooted in resilience, love, becoming, and joy. This show is a space for resistance and tenderness, identity and transformation, solidarity and celebration. Every work is a testament — to the vibrant spectrum of queer life and to the power of creative expression as both mirror and movement.

In curating A Matter of Pride, we sought works that offer insight, provoke conversation, and invite connection. The artists represented here span a wide range of identities, experiences, and practices, from emerging voices to seasoned creators. Each piece contributes to a collective chorus: unapologetic, radiant, and necessary.

May this exhibition be a reminder that queer art is not just a matter of pride, but a matter of presence, purpose, and power.
