20th Annual Juried Art Exhibition
In-Person: November 5 - December 11, 2025, William Way LGBT Community Center
Opening Reception: Wednesday, November 5, 6-8PM
The William Way LGBT Community Center is thrilled to announce 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!
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 that will be presented. 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 that will be 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. Visitors are invited to celebrate the opening of the 20th Annual Juried Art Exhibition at a free reception on Wednesday, November 5, giving them the opportunity to meet artists whose works are featured in the exhibition.
