Big Gay Art Show 2025
June 6-29, 2025
In June 2025, Pride Month, the Big Gay Art Show will return to the Sedona Arts Center exhibition schedule. The Big Gay Art Show is a juried art show that exhibits and sells artwork in support of the LGBTQ+ community and allies. The show will run from June 6-29, 2025, on-site at the Sedona Arts Center.
In 2012, the Big Gay Art Show was conceptualized by a small group – some connected to SAC and others in the Sedona Pride organization. The event began as an effort to offer the LGBTQ+ community a voice in the local art scene. Since that first show, SAC has welcomed hundreds of emerging and professional artists to Sedona to share their work throughout the history of the event.
The Big Gay Art Show is a much anticipated, well attended exhibition open to all artists in any medium and of any level.
DEADLINE for Submission: April 28, 2025.
