Despite the vast offerings of LGBT Americans to the applied arts world, so many continue to stereotype the careers of this unique subculture. Now is the time to step-up and show Metro Detroit all that local LGBT Americans have contributed to the applied arts world. Welcome to 'Beyond the Bar,’ Detroit's First ever LGBT design showcase.
For this showcase, Metro Detroit's LGBT designers/illustrators are being called to submit their favorite pieces. Maybe it's that awesome website you made at work, or maybe it's the logo you created for your neighbors cupcake shop - whatever the work - take this opportunity to show the local area your contribution to the design field.
Chosen pieces will then be showcased at an opening reception party, during Ferndale Pride Week, 2012.
