SaveArtSpace is proud to present Paradise After-Hours, a public art exhibition on billboard ad space in New York, NY, opening December 11, 2026, curated by Olivia "LIT LIV" Morgan.

A call for artists documenting queer nightlife and queer art. For years, queer nightlife has faced pressure from city and government offices to shut down the bars, dance halls, and clubs that serve as safe spaces for queer people to dance, perform, and be fully themselves. Venues close. The community keeps creating. Paradise After-Hours invites artists who are documenting and preserving this world as it shifts and changes. We're looking for work that shows the best of our community: the joy of the dance floor, the bright lights, the feeling of being free and being seen. The culture the mainstream now borrows from was born in queer spaces like these. They can try to close our spaces, but we havealways existed and we always will.

We invite artists of all ages and talents to submit their artwork between October 8 and November 2, 2026 in order to be considered for the exhibition. This is an opportunity to have your work placed on billboard ad space in New York, NY.

The application fee is $35 for 1-3 images; each additional image carries a $10 fee. Fees support the production of the exhibition, including the purchase of billboard ad space. All fees paid to SaveArtSpace are 100% tax deductible donations.

Selected artist will be announced after November 16, 2026. Public art will be on view starting December 11, 2026 in New York, NY, and will be on view for at least one month.

Curator

Olivia "LIT LIV" Morgan (b. 1998) is a Jamaican-American conceptual and documentary photographer. Started their photography journey documenting underground nightlife under the name LIT LIV. As a queer Black artist Olivia’s work explores themes of identity. Using photography as their way to find connection, and truth. Working primarily with analog photography, Olivia captures intimate, raw, and authentic moments, inviting viewers into the emotional and physical transformations of those who don’t conform, sparking internal dialogue and deeper understanding. There is a frequency, like a supernatural feeling Olivia taps into in the process of image making. It is an art that demands thoughtful consideration of the subject and environment.
