Out of the Artist Creator & Coordinator Keira Thomas says ‘Having heavily been involved with supporting the LGBTQIA+ community in various forms, I feel passionate about creating an open and safe space for local LGBTQIA+ artists to creatively express and share their voice.
Working with Worthing Museum and local artists to create the Museum's first LGBTQIA+ exhibition, is an absolute honour, as it aims to inspire and encourage LGBTQIA+ artists, as well as people from other underrepresented communities.
Full inclusivity is at the heart of the project, which is proudly represented amongst our exhibiting artists and their diverse, powerful and inspiring work.
We welcome all to visit the exhibition, to support and be part of the positive and progressive future of Worthing.’
Gil Mualem-Doron, an award-winning transdisciplinary artist, researcher, curator and contributor to the exhibition, will be running 4 free workshops titled Planning Worthing LGBTQIA+ Beach, to ignite the artistic passion of the Worthing community. Gil's art is based on his lived experiences of intersectionality as a migrant, person of colour, and neurodivergent queer.
In collaboration with LGBTQ+ Community of Worthing Facebook group, and with full inclusivity being at the heart of our values, the exhibitions invites you to open your mind, ready to immerse yourself in the work and celebration of our inspiring LGBTQIA+ artists.
