This is an exciting moment – we are announcing the first Creating Queer Communities (CQC) Level 2 cohort, designed to help local LGBTQ2IA+ artists advance their technical and creative production skills. This is our first ever level 2 cohort, a new aspect of our artists development program designed to help local LGBTQ2IA+ artists hone their ability to devise and produce original artworks for our community. We’re excited to welcome Deon Brown, Tiara Amar, Esotérica Tropical, Grupo Chuqui Chinchay, Lyn Patterson, Sagaree, and Yanni Brumfeld. Read their full bios through the link!

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.

We want to give a warm welcome to our new Creating Queer Communities Level 1 Cohort <3!
