OPEN CALL FOR outer cape ARTISTS
THE QUEENS AND THE FLAMBOYANT KINGS
In celebration of this year's Jimmy Lee's Fashion Show: London Calling, The Provincetown Commons invites Outer Cape artists to participate in The Queens and The Flamboyant Kings, a community exhibition honoring the bold, the glamorous, and the delightfully extravagant.
We're seeking artwork that celebrates the spirit of royalty, camp, opulence, spectacle, wit, fearless self-expression, and unapologetic extravagance. Think glamour, fantasy, theatricality, excess, and a joyful disregard for life's restraints. Whether playful or provocative, elegant or outrageous, we encourage artists to interpret the theme in their own unique way. As this is a curated themed exhibition, submitted work should clearly reflect the show's spirit and aesthetic; artwork that does not align with the theme or overall vision may not be accepted.
Come reign with us as we celebrate spectacle, and the wonderfully flamboyant spirit that makes Provincetown shine.
