are you an artist or creative in NYC? Submit your original designs and they may be featured in NYC PRIDE's 2026 MERCH COLLECTION!

Each year, NYC Pride releases new branded merch that supports our work and helps our community celebrate Pride in style.

The products are available at our online shop, shop.nycpride.org, as well as in-person at pop-up shops during Pride Month. A portion of all proceeds directly support our work creating safe spaces that serve and celebrate our LGBTQIA+ community.

This year, we’re thrilled to announce plans for our first-ever capsule collection - and we’re turning to our community to bring it to life!

NYC Pride is inviting queer artists, designers and makers based in the NYC tri-state area to submit designs for consideration in our 2026 merch capsule collection. The collection will aim to capture the inimitable Pride, spirit, and artistry of our local LGBTQIA+ community with a curated assortment of Pride-ready apparel, accessories, and gifts – while giving our city's queer artists and creatives a platform to connect with new audiences and deepen their engagement with the local LGBTQIA+ community.
