Calling Queer and Trans Artists!


Equality New Mexico is planning our first LGBTQ Statewide Summit in over 20 years!  

In 2024 we will gather Queer and Trans folks from across the state to build relationships and strategize about the next phase of our movement in New Mexico!  And we want YOUR help!

To kick off the planning of this Summit, we are asking artists in New Mexico to submit designs for a logo for this summit!  The logo will be printed on all of our materials, used to advertise and recruit for the summit, and be a part of the LGBTQ history of New Mexico!

Art submissions are due no later than midnight on January 22, 2024.  Artists should submit artwork to Summit@eqnm.org as a PDF, JPEG, or PNG file.

Specifications for submission:

  • If artwork is painted, drawn, or otherwise created on paper, a digital artist will recreate the artwork for use in materials. (Digital artist will recreate with as little change to the original design as possible)

  • Only artwork submitted as a PDF, PNG, or JPEG file will be considered.
