QUARTZ:Queer Arts Market

Building long lasting multigenerational support structures is so important to us here at quartz. The US governement is currently at war with our queer community. Supporting, investing in, and being in community with lgbtq+ artists is one vital part of how we win and secure thriving abundant futures for EVERYONE.

Quartz has always been an event that features queer artists and is open and welcoming to all. With over 40 vendors we offer the gambit from clothing, and accesories, painting & prints, sex positive art, lgbt focused greeting cards, tattoos, tooth gems, food vendors, potery, embroidery and so much more. Entry to the event is free so come by and check us out each second saturday.

This event will be both outdoors in the beautiful gardens of @place.community as well as in their indoor space. Masks are encouraged & the venue is pet friendly!

Make an impact on the livelihood of local queer artists by investing in local community, & alternative economic structures that enable passions over expoecially it's vitally important to remember the value each of your dollars has towards a thriving local economy that benefits YOU in the long run! Studies consistently find that each dollar spent locally generates an additional $2–$6 of economic activity in the community! That doesn't happen when you shop at big retailers online❌

So remember YOUR power in creating the care economy you want to see and witness what investing in community truly looks and feels like. Join us become a part of our legacy and cultivate queer connections that build timelessly.
