A Bit About Us
Queer artists haven't been given the spotlight they deserve for far too long.
We founded The Little Gay Shop to change that.
Our shop gives members of the LGBTQIA+ community a platform to showcase their work and receive the recognition and compensation they deserve.
Art should be accessible to everyone. Let's make that happen.
