"Work In Progress" Queer Artists Meetup/Art Share

What to expect: Bring a piece of art (visual or performing)to share with the group. This could be something you’re just conceptualizing, something you're in the middle of, or something you just finished. The idea is get support from fellow queer artists in a safe space. Each person will be allotted 3-5 minutes each to share, followed by open discussion. We will have guidelines on giving/receiving feedback- see below details. Some snacks provided, no alcohol allowed.

Donations welcomed for holding the space, cash or venmo, or bring a snack to share.

Giving/Receiving Feedback Guidelines: In general, this night is about uplifting and motivating each other to share and explore our work. As you come in, you'll take a name tag where you can write what kind of feedback you'd like- positive only, constructive (positive and critical), or no feedback at all.

What kind of art to bring: Most mediums are welcome, including visual art mediums, digital artwork (can connect phone via airdrop to TV), poetry, spoken word, music (connect via bluetooth or acoustic music- piano available to use). Due to space limitation, we currently can't accommodate amps, drum sets, large scale work. If you have any questions regarding your work or what to bring- please reach out via email [email protected].

Creating a safe space: This is a space for the queer community as a whole, we do not allow any racism, transphobia, or homophobia. You will be asked to leave and not welcomed back.

Accessibility: Donation is not required for entry. Location is 1 block from the Cypress Park Metro Station, entry is on ground floor- wheelchair accessible. Content of art may be varied and may include loud music.

Parking: Open street parking on Lacy St. in front of space.
