Florida Lesbian Zine Fest Art Gallery Application
Join us in celebrating physical queer media! We would love to feature incredible Florida lesbians and sapphics and the art they so lovingly create. Applications will close on November 15 and you’ll hear back from us late November.
Our Mission
Florida Lesbian Zine Fest (FLZF) was created as an act of resistance against the fascist horrors of a digital surveillance state. In a world where artistic integrity is being compromised by AI, grassroots print culture is needed now more than ever. FLZF is a celebration of radical self-publishing and sapphic and trans creativity. This event is a love letter to DIY queer physical media for all queer people and allies to enjoy. This event is created by lesbians, for lesbians. We want FLZF to prioritize and highlight underrepresented voices in the queer community. Black lesbians, Indigenous lesbians, all lesbians of color, trans lesbians, disabled lesbians, and lesbians who hold multiple identities will be prioritized as vendors and artists. Applications from cis men will not be considered.
What We’re Looking For
Florida Lesbian Zine Fest is a space for people to make and share art of all mediums, while celebrating lesbian and trans artists. We’re curating a selection of artists who love to use their art as an act of resistance and want to connect outside of the digital realm. We will only accept original art: absolutely no use of generative AI will be allowed or accepted. Artwork that feels like topics such as queer resistance and ways to support your community are especially encouraged, but we welcome art of all kinds that let your creativity flourish! Artists are welcome to sell their artwork and/or distribute freely. We also encourage folks to trade media!
