Outsider Collective

We’re so excited to invite you to Chromatic Spectrum, a new group exhibition by the artists of Outsider Collective.
This show explores color, portraiture, and identity through deeply personal, joyful, bold, and expressive work. Every piece reflects a unique voice and perspective, and together they create something vibrant and powerful.
Join us for the opening reception:
June 26, 2026 | 6–8 PM
Hope Artiste Village
Come celebrate our artists with us. 💜
ArtShow Portraiture Color

🎨 ATTENTION LOCAL Q***R ARTISTS! 🎨

We are looking for colorful art for our Chromatic Spectrum show happening at the end of this month! Portraiture is preferred, and priority goes to disabled and BIPOC artists. All mediums welcome! Drop-off pieces during open hours (M-F, 10-4) until June 19. If interested, shoot us a DM with info about your work (including prices if work is for sale), or email [email protected].

Opening Reception on June 26, 2026 and the show will run through August. Pieces can be picked up anytime in September if they haven’t sold. We look forward to seeing your art!

📢🌈✨🫟🎨🖌️ Calling all artists and art makers!📢🌈✨🫟🎨🖌️

The Outsider Zine Fest is a celebration of small works by local artists, makers, storytellers, poets, organizers, collectives... and anyone who's made something they'd like to share!

This is a completely free event with no vending fees! Inspired by Providence's beloved Q***r & Trans Zine Fest, we hope to create a space for makers who might not typically have access to book, zine or fine arts spaces.

Our idea of "zine" is very broad - This may be small publications, artist books and printed matter, as well as drawings, paintings, posters, ceramics, small sculptures, textiles....You name it!

✨✨ Call deadline: June 22, 2026✨✨

🎨🖌️ Market Date: September 25, 2026🖌️🎨
