The Ithaca Pride Alliance is thrilled to announce the 2025 Ithaca Pride Festival:

QUEER JOY, QUEER POWER

Call to All Ithaca Artists!

We are excited to announce that we are soliciting proposals for our featured CAP Artspace Gallery “Queer Art, Queer Visions”, as a part of the Ithaca Pride Festival. 

Queer Art, Queer Visions will feature art from members of the LGBTQ community exploring a vibrant and diverse spectrum of queer experiences and identities. Through paintings, sculptures, photography, installations, and performance art, queer artists will be invited to express their unique perspectives and lived experiences and celebrate the beauty and complexity of queer identities. To be considered to be a part of the exhibit, submit an application and gallery proposal. Selected proposals will be featured at the CAP Artspace in the month of June, and be a part of Gallery Night on June 6th. Digital submissions will be accessed via QR codes at the Artspace, as well as in marketing materials. 

Proposals are Due April 4th. 

Selected artists will be notified after April 11th.

  • The Ithaca Pride Alliance is seeking submissions for our annual design. The Ithaca Pride Alliance welcomes and encourages all artists regardless of race, gender, ability, or means, to submit work that truly reflects the beautiful diversity of our community. 

    • Submissions open Monday February 10th, and close Sunday March 31st

    • The winning artist will be notified by April 10, 2025.

    • Winner will be publicly announced by May 1st 

    We recognize that there are a variety of AI programs available to assist artists. However, we believe that AI programs are not a replacement for human creativity and  expressive ingenuity. In our commitment to fostering human creativity, we request that artists refrain from using AI when developing their submission. The submissions will be evaluated based on originality.
