With support from the California Arts Council, Highways Performance Space will produce the Behold! LGBTQIA+ Performance Series, a multidisciplinary project developed in collaboration with LGBTQIA+ artists and community participants in Los Angeles. Responding to community-identified needs for visibility, artistic development, and intergenerational exchange, the series will consist of multiple performance residencies, each including a week of rehearsal, technical development, and public presentation. Workshops and community dialogues will take place throughout the series, creating opportunities for direct engagement between artists and audiences.

CAC funds will support fair compensation for California-based artists, production costs, and accessibility services, with free or low-cost admission and a “no one turned away” policy. Behold! advances Highways’ commitment to under-resourced communities by creating inclusive, artist-led spaces that amplify lived experience and foster sustained cultural dialogue through the arts.
