After more than two years of service, Queer Cultural Center’s (QCC) Executive Director Anand Kalra has announced he will be transitioning from the organization at the end of November 2024. As members of the Board of Directors, we express our immense gratitude for the incredible hard work and deep care Anand has shown in his stewardship of the organization.

Queer Cultural Center will select 5-7 applicants for the CQC2 cohort. CQC2 cohort members will receive professional development workshops and will produce an individual cultural event as part of QCC’s 2025 Spring Queer Arts Festival.  The artistic theme for the 2025 Spring Queer Arts Festival is “Pleasure in the Storm”. We invite projects that address queer approaches to sustaining ourselves and our communities through cultivating inner joy, community connection, and sensory pleasures amid the ongoing political, cultural, public health, and climate crises that shape our current material conditions.
