Call for Submissions: LGBTQ Comic Art Show

The Footlight Club theater in Jamaica Plain is putting on a production of “The Prom,” a musical about a same-sex couple at a high school prom. They’ve asked the Boston Comics Roundtable to organize an exhibit of comic art with LGBTQ creators and themes for the lobby gallery during the run of the show.We are looking for twelve comics creators to display their art:– 3–4 pages from each artist, in sequence is great (but not required).

— LGBTQ theme, however you interpret that. Suitable for a teen audience (but “can be edgy” according to the gallery director).

— Original art, or printouts of digital work.

— Framed and ready to hang – please no sawtooth hangers. Per the gallery director: work that is not ready to hang may be rejected.

If you’re interested in submitting, please respond with jpegs of the work you would like to submit, by MARCH 15 to:

bostoncomicsroundtable@gmail.com

The show will hang on April 19th or 26th, with a reception at the gallery early in the run of the play, May 3-17. The show will come down May 18.
If people are interested in learning more about The Prom, I am told that the stage version matches up pretty well to the movie, which is available thru streaming.

Let us know if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you.

Once again, that address is

Thank you, comics community!
