Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, QCC-THE CENTER FOR LESBIAN GAY BISEXUAL TRANSGENDER ART & CULTURE will engage the LeaderSpring Center to facilitate a July/August 2020 process of staff and board inquiry that will result in clearly outlined organizational structures, project management systems, inclusive/ equitable policies and procedures that will become QCC’s Strategic Plan. QCC is committed to doing this work and has already secured $15,000 from the Hewlett Foundation to do so.
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.
