Reminder - open call for artists for GFEST 2012  

The deadline is coming up soon for submissions to GFEST - Gaywise FESTival, the premier annual lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) arts festival in London.

The deadline for submissions is Friday 29 June 2012.

The festival accepts submissions in three categories:

·         films

·         visual arts

·         performance

Submissions are accepted on our website www.gaywisefestival.org.uk

The theme of this year’s festival, which takes place in November in venues across London, is ‘Queer Art queries..’

Niranjan Kamatkar, artistic director of GFEST said ‘Since we put out the open call for artists this year we have had great interest from all over the arts community. There is still time to submit ideas to us. We are looking for submissions from artists and organisations, with a particular focus on collaboration across art form, age and cultural backgrounds.

‘We want to encourage artists to work together on exciting, thought provoking and innovative work. We want to query what happens in the queer arts world.’
