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.
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.
