Kaleidoscope IV: Celebrating LGBTQIA+ pride

ENTRIES CLOSE: Midnight Sunday 14 September 2025

Apply online

In its fourth year, Kaleidoscope IV is an open exhibition where LGBTQIA+ artists in Canberra and Australia-wide can express their experiences of queerness, sexuality, gender, and unique individuality through art.

We are inviting LGBTQIA+ artists in Canberra and throughout Australia, at any level of artistic experience to participate.

The LGBTQIA+ community is so much more than six colours, and everyone has their own ideas about what it means to be part of this diverse rainbow community.

Diversity and inclusion are not just values, they are the essence of this exhibition. They are the threads that connect, provoke dialogue, and create magic.

Kaleidoscope IV celebrates uniqueness, diversity of perspectives, lived experiences, and shared ambitions that our LGBTQIA+ community embodies.

We welcome contributions from all viewpoints in 2D or 3D, using painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, glass, photography, drawing or mix medium etc.

Belco Arts is dedicated to fostering positive dialogue and embracing the richness that the LGBTQIA+ community brings into our lives. We invite you to be a part of this transformative conversation through your art.

All works selected for exhibition will be eligible for consideration of the $500 People’s Choice Award.
