We're excited to be part of The Queer Window Art Trail as part of Foyle Pride Festival!
The Queer Window Art Trail has been introduced to Foyle Pride Festival (2024) in order to place emphasis on LGBTQIA+ art by local queer artists. The work will be displayed in public windows across the city's venues, giving a number of queer artists a platform to show their work publicly. Artists were welcome to submit pre-existing work as well as ideas for new & temporary installations in the windows. Displayed will be a variety of prints, textiles, ceramics and paintings. The art will be on display for the duration of Pride Week, in windows along our parade trail and its surroundings. In total, we have 11 queer artists exhibiting in 11 venues.
Many venues which are situated outside of the trail will also be hosting events during the week. All info and events can be found on Foyle Pride's programme. Physical copies are available in various venues in Derry and a digital copy can be dowloaded here: https://www.foylepride.com/docs/foyle-pride-programme-24.pdf
The art trail has been organised by Foyle Pride's Arts Officer for 2024, Devin Kane (they/them). Devin Kane runs Derry's Visual Artists Collective along with Serena Kane (she/her), another local artist and Foyle Pride Committee member. This is a group which facilitates casual meet-ups to work amongst and chat to other artists in the city. During Pride Week, Visual Artists Collective will also be hosting a Queer Sketchbook Meet-up in Void Art Centre, one of our art trail venues.
