QCC is already ramping up to bring you the 2025 Spring Queer Arts Festival, and this one's going to be an absolute pleasure! The theme for this year's Spring Queer Arts Festival is "Pleasure in the Storm", and we're ready to help you find pleasure in even the stormiest times.
As we start 2025, QCC is looking forward to a year full of inspiration, pleasure, and joy from queer and trans arts and culture! Here are ten simple strategies we recommend to help you break your creative blocks and reach for your next big inspiration. #QueerArts
All of us at the Queer Cultural Center wish you and all of your family (chosen, biological, spiritual, ancestral) a wondrous start to the new year - a start that brings beauty to your eyes, joy to your hearts, and connection with community to your soul. Happy New Year!🎆
Now that longer days are bringing more light into our lives, we wanted to share more photos from our Incandescent Illuminations Artists Showcase. No matter how dark things get, QCC will be here bringing queer and trans light and joy to the world.
Please join us in welcoming Darice Jones (they/she) to QCC’s team as our interim Executive Director. Hopefully you’ll get just as excited to have them bring their expertise to the organization as the rest of us are!
This #ThrowbackThursday we're remembering the amazing artists we've had the privilege of working with through QCC's programs, whether that be our National Queer Arts Festival, Creating Queer Communities, or our Arts Services programs. #QueerArts #QueerArtisQueerJoy
We are gifted with one of the most diverse LGBTQ+ communities in the world here in the SF Bay area, and no organization has been lifting up that community longer than the Queer Cultural Center. We've been this successful for more than 30 years thanks to your support!
This year artists from our Creating Queer Communities artists cohort brought us some Incandescent Illuminations as part of the Fall Queer Arts Festival. Who wouldn't be lit up by that smile? That's the kind of trans joy we are working hard to bring to our communities all year!
Queer arts create joy not just for queer and trans people, but for all people! Each year, QCC supports dozens of artists in creating paid, original work that lifts up our communities and brings joy to our lives. And, trust, we all need more joy in our lives right now!
2024 has been a momentous year for the Queer Cultural Center as we revived the Creating Queer Communities artist development program and split the National Queer Arts Festival into two parts for more year-round queer art and joy! Donate now givingtuesday.mightycause.com/QCC!
In addition to phenomenal performing artists, we had some truly luminous visual artists as part of the Incandescent Illuminations Artists Showcase. These artists worked for months to create original creations that were on display throughout the venue. Which one lights you up?
Tomorrow is Transgender Day of Remembrance, so we’re reminding you that you can celebrate the amazing transgender artists of our community every single day! We are blessed to have a wealth of transgender arts and culture here in the SF Bay area.
Wow, what a show! Thank you so much to everybody who was a part of our Creating Queer Communities Level One Artists Showcase last weekend, whether it be as audience or artist! It was a night that exemplified the power of LGBTQ+ community, culture, and JOY in such an important way
This is the final call for our 2025 Creating Queer Communities Level One Artists Development Program. Don't miss the deadline next Tuesday 11/12! Link to more details and the application in our bio! #CreatingQueerCommunities #QueerArts
The Incandescent Illuminations Artists Showcase is this weekend! Sunday night (11/10) will have ASL interpretation and the venue is fully ADA-compliant for physical accessibility. We will also be encouraging masks and offering some for any who need them. tinyurl.com/CQC1Showcase
Now is the time to invite more queer and trans light into your life - and Incandescent Illuminations, QCC's Fall Queer Arts Festival, has got you! Witness the brilliance of 8 emerging LGBTQ+ artists this Saturday and Sunday (11/9 & 11/10) at Monument SF. tinyurl.com/CQC1Showcase
DEADLINE EXTENDED! The deadline to apply for our 2025 Creating Queer Communities Level One artist development program. This is a PAID opportunity for emerging queer and trans artists to grow their skills and create new work! Learn more at our website!
The Artists Showcase for Incandescent Illuminations, our Fall Queer Arts Festival, is right around the corner (this weekend 11/9 & 11/10 at Monument SF) and we're thrilled to have installation artist Lis Solis as part of the ensemble - tickets at tinyurl.com/CQC1Showcase!
Another part of the prismatic brilliance that is our Fall Queer Arts Festival Artists Showcase, Cristina Medrano (@lachiquis_art), aka Volcanera, is a songwriter who explores spiritual reconnection and ritual with decolonial intention. Get tickets at queerculturalcenter.org.
Esperanza is a Xicana slam poet who creates constellations out of metaphors. Ann is a Taiwanese-American (occasional) comedian who explores existentialism and identity. Catch both at our Creating Queer Communities Showcase next Friday and Saturday 11/9-10 at Monument SF!
