Project Description
With support from the CAC, the Queer Cultural Center will partner with Fresh Meat Productions, SF LGBT Center, and the SF Transgender Film Festival to engage San Francisco’s transgender and gender-nonconforming communities, who are deeply impacted by SF’s ongoing gentrification/displacement crisis, through a series of creative expression workshops, performances and arts events that will explore intersectional trans identities and empower us to envision and assert our collective futures in SF.
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.

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.
