Competition Overview
Pride Live and the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center (SNMVC) invite undergraduate and graduate students at accredited colleges and universities across the United States to participate in the Stonewall Student Artist Residency. This national competition seeks to bring fresh creative voices into the SNMVC and to reflect on the profound journey from persecution to preservation that defines the Stonewall legacy.
By engaging students with the history of the Stonewall Uprising and its lasting impact on the LGBTQ+ community, the competition encourages creative interpretations of Stonewall’s legacy while fostering cultural and social engagement through design. This is an opportunity for emerging designers, artists, and scholars to contribute meaningfully to one of the nation’s most significant monuments to civil rights.
Theme: Honoring the Legacy: From Uprising to Preservation
Participating teams will propose a physical design installation for the SNMVC and an accompanying event or activation that draws the community into the space. Proposals should connect historical reflection with contemporary activism and design innovation, creating an experience that resonates with diverse audiences and honors the ongoing fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
