Queer Cultural Center is thrilled to relaunch Crea

Queer Cultural Center is thrilled to relaunch Creating Queer Communities, our beloved professional development training program for queer and trans artists in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are offering this PAID, structured learning and performance opportunity at two levels for the first time. The CQC Level One cohort will perform in the Fall of 2024 in a showcase and the Level Two cohort will perform in the Spring of 2025 in events that the selected cohort members produce. This open call is for the Level One cohort of Creating Queer Communities. We will send a separate call in early 2024 for our second-level offering for established QTBIPOC artists and artist collectives.⁠

***Information session Monday, December 18 @ 6:00pm, applications due Sunday, January 7 @ 11:59pm!***⁠

One of the things that makes it hard to run a nonp

One of the things that makes it hard to run a nonprofit is the short supply of “general operating funds”. We’re often limited in the size and reach of programs like Creating Queer Communities because the funding we receive is targeted to specific pieces of specific programs. Donations from individuals, however, allow us to sustain and grow our work from a place of self-determination, autonomy, and choice. On Giving Tuesday, we invite you to help Queer Cultural Center grow our power. Visit the link in our bio to make a donation today! We welcome your gift at any size. ⁠

QUEER CULTURAL CENTER IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE OUR PRO

QUEER CULTURAL CENTER IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE OUR PROGRAM SCHEDULE FOR 2024! National Queer Arts Festival in Spring AND Fall! CQC artist development program now offered at two levels!⁠
⁠
This year, for the first time ever, QCC took a few months to gather insights from current and former QCC artists, staff, board members, and other community leaders about how well we’re making our mission a reality. Combining that input with the results of the NQAF audience surveys, we’re making some big changes to adapt our work to better meet the needs of the current moment. Check out these graphics for a sneak peek on what’s coming up at QCC, and be on the lookout for TWO SEPARATE OPEN CALLS for queer and trans artists from nearly all disciplines starting /very soon/, and a THIRD ONE opening up in a few short months!⁠
⁠
Curious?? Learn more at the link in our bio!⁠
