Please share widely. Our Emergent open call is now live

We’re looking for strong, exciting work by queer artists. Any style, any approach. Work doesn’t need to look “queer” to belong.

We’re at the stage where folks we know have mostly given. Now we need believers—champions who’ll share, tag friends, message allies, and say: “This space matters.” If that’s you, this is your moment. 🐶🐯💛 Thank you & consider donating as well pupandtiger.co.uk/donate

New Vision Backer print reward! 🐢 Inspired by Huysmans’s Against Nature—a jeweled tortoise as a symbol of queer decadence, artifice, and life beyond the norm. Beauty in excess, meaning in detail.
