Project Description

The Queer Cultural Center (QCC) promotes social justice and the artistic and economic evolution of queer art and culture in the San Francisco Bay Area. QCC employs the arts to build a diverse community that actively promotes social justice and challenges homophobia, transphobia, racism and misogyny. QCC has a long history of advocating for public policies that improve the artistic and financial conditions of LGBTQ+ and arts organizations of color.

Originally founded in 1992 by LGBTQ+ Civil Rights activists and artists in response to the NEA’s censorship of out LGBTQ+ artists, QCC is currently one of the nation’s strongest LGBTQ+ arts services and presenting organizations. QCC’s arts programs and services have both networked and significantly diversified the Bay Area’s LGBTQ+ arts community. QCC’s year-round presenting, commissioning, and arts services programs have fostered the artistic and financial development of a strong and diverse Queer arts community in the SF Bay Area.
