Queer Artists Tea/Coffee Klatch @ Heart's Pace Teahouse (N. Adams, MA)

​Q-MoB & Heart's Pace Teahouse are delighted to offer this space for working queer artists (both visual & performing artists) from all over the Berkshire region to gather once a month to share about their artwork, their dreams, their challenges, and to support & inspire one another on many levels and in many ways. Ride-sharing & carpooling available for men who want to reduce their carbon footprint &/or need/want a ride. It is our hope that this monthly gathering will foster and support queer art & artists in some of these ways:

1) Help develop friendships, collaboration, &/or mentorships between queer artists

2) Help groups of queer artists to come together to collaborate on queer art shows, performances, or community art events

3) Inspire queer artists to seek grants together to support the development of queer art in the region

4) help queer artists to share their struggles & visions and collectively develop ways to overcome those struggles & achieve their visions, e.g., with housing, health insurance, business management, finding places to exhibit, finding grants and financial support, and finding affordable supplies.
