Submit Your Designs
Showcase your voice! This is a wide-open call for artists to celebrate the queer community of MECA&D and to project our Pride from the Library's windows to the greater Portland community. This will be the fourth annual open call and designs will be installed as public art for the summer of 2026.
All winners will have professional documentation of the completed project by the College for their portfolios.
Submission Information
Please submit a design related to queer identity, queer history, or queer symbology. Designs can be image-based, text-based, or some combination of both. Your design does not have to be overtly Pride-themed, but the connection to Pride should be explained clearly in your design description. Designs should be simple enough that someone who is not an artist can install them.
Jury Process
Finalists will be selected by the wider student body. Four winning designs will be announced during the Spring Semester and each winner will receive $100.
Due Date
Submissions are due Friday, December 5, 2025. Reach out to elyse.grams-staff@meca.edu with questions.
