“CALLING ALL ARTISTS! If you’re a 2SLGBTQ+ youth artist from Peel and Halton regions, we’ve got an opportunity for you! YouthOrganize is thrilled to share our Call for Submissions for our first ever Anthology project.
About the Anthology:
The main thematic focus of YouthOrganize’s anthology is the exploration of self-discovery, centering on the journey of personal growth. The anthology delves into the intricate and often transformative experiences and processes of understanding one’s identity. Through the lens of youth voices, it highlights the unique experiences of 2SLGBTQ+ Youth in Peel and Halton regions as they embark on their paths of self-acceptance and growth. This collection invites artists and readers to reflect on journeys of the self and the many ways in which we discover the pieces of identity that make up who we are.
