The William Way LGBT Community Center is thrilled to present our 20th Annual Juried Art Exhibition, on view beginning November 5 through December 11, 2025. The exhibit is the Center’s largest exhibition of the year, featuring the work of 46 emerging and established LGBTQ+ artists. This year’s exhibition is particularly special as it marks the 20th anniversary of the Philadelphia region’s longest-running annual LGBTQ+ art exhibition and serves as a kick-off to the Center’s approaching 50th Anniversary in 2026.

After receiving over 100 submissions, WWCC has selected a total of 46 Philadelphia-area LGBTQ+ artists. This year, the Center is offering $1,200 in awards, and the top three prizes include a spot in a group exhibition in 2026, offering continued opportunities for recognition and engagement.

Works featured in the Juried Art Exhibition are displayed in the Center’s expansive first-floor lobby and include a wide variety of styles, mediums, and subject matter, many of which are available for purchase. Profits made from the exhibit support both local LGBTQ+ artists and the Center’s Art and Culture programs, allowing visitors to invest in the community while expanding their own collections
