Following the success of last year’s inaugural Pride Open Exhibition, we are delighted to be returning this year with This Space Belongs to You, an open exhibition at PrimeYarc to coincide with Great Yarmouth & Waveney Pride 2026.Throughout June and up until midnight on Sunday 12 July, we are inviting submissions.
The exhibition will celebrate LGBTQ+ creativity, visibility, expression and belonging — and is open to contributions in all forms, including:
Drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media, digital work, fashion, film, creative writing, spoken word, performance — and anything else we can realistically present.
Submissions are open to all, and are especially encouraged from LGBTQ+ artists living or working in Great Yarmouth and Waveney, as well as people who have never exhibited before.
You do not need to be a professional artist. You do not need to have shown work before. This is a space for expression, experimentation, pride, care, resistance, joy, community and being seen.
