Details of Outlaw of the Arts Festival:

We Are Collective is built, organized, and celebrated by queer folks & now more than ever we are in need of art as revolution. Performance has been pivotal to the exploration and acceptance of queerness. We must be loud. We must speak clearly. We must use our voice before it is stripped away. Through this three day festival, we hope to highlight queerness as power through education and performance. Day one will consist of classes ranging in topics to highlight radical ways to advocate, uplift, and move forward through community. Day two will be an en masse performance of queer revolution ranging from contemporary dance, to film, to drag, to spoken word in a short form composition! Day three will be a long form evening based on the idea of revolution, not specifically queer revolution.

In addition to the 18 artists and companies performing, the Queer Art Market by We Are Collective will also be hosted before the show and at intermission. Community groups will be tabling to offer information, resources, and ways to engage with their organizations pre-show and during intermission as well! We want to emphasize that revolution happens through communal support. In this space, we uplift each other to act as Outlaws of the Arts.

No Refunds.
