Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, QCC will conduct its FY 20/21 Commissioning & Arts Residency Programs for LGBTQ+ artists. The programs will result in the creation, staging, documentation and evaluation of 16 new works from Bay Area LGBTQ+ artists that debut at QCC’s 24th annual National Queer Arts Festival in June 2021. CAC funds will support the 16 commissions, the fees for mentoring and presenting those artists and the technicians to support each production.
Organization Summary
Since 1998, QCC has curated and produced 26 month-long National Queer Arts Festivals that have featured over 2500 LGBTQ2S+ artists in 1150+ different arts events. QCC’s arts services comprise artistic program planning, fiscal sponsorship, free/low-cost grant-proposal and report writing, marketing strategies, capacity-building workshops, and free/low-cost strategic/development planning services to emerging queer and trans arts organizations with a focus on organizations led by BIPOC, trans and gender non-conforming people, and lesbians, who are all marginalized in LGBTQ2S+ arts funding. To date, our arts services program has enabled over 46+ Bay Area LGBTQ2S+ arts organizations to raise over $8,600,000. QCC’s arts services support the next generation of emerging Queer and Trans artists to acquire the skills to develop, finance, and stage work addressing LGBTQ2S+ Civil rights and social justice issues.
