Queer Art Collective
Join our brand new Queer Art Collective, or QAC (like “quack”) for short!
What is this project?
This is a 5-month creative project, running from October 2026 to March 2027 - but you can join
at any point!
Over the 5 months we will:
Experiment with different art forms: from zines to sculpture to macaroni art!
Develop your own art style in a relaxed, judgement-free space.
Work together to create a creative piece to be shown at The Future is Ours Festival 2027!
Who is this project for?
This project is for anyone who identifies as LGBTQ+ or questioning, is aged 16-25 and is looking for a space to be creative!
You don’t need any creative experience - that’s what this group is for! There is no right or wrong way to be creative. All we ask from you is that you’re up for trying some different art mediums and are willing to work together as a group to create something for The Future is Ours!
When, where and who?
Sessions are every Thursday from 4:30-6pm in the Horsfall! Head to reception to sign in, and we’ll come and collect you when session starts!
The project is run by Caz (they/them) and Georgia (she/her), who both identify as
LGBTQ+.
