Queer Creatives is a community writing program that aims to connect LGBTQIA+* writers and makers through collective story making and story sharing by:
-
Nurturing the creative lives of LGBTQIA+* writers and makers.
-
Fostering a fun and encouraging community of fellow LGBTQIA+* creatives in Colorado and beyond.
-
Connecting LGBTQIA+* creatives to valuable resources that will support them in growing their craft.
-
Encouraging writers and artists of all identities to pursue their wildest creative dreams.
By offering free monthly meetups, opportunities to connect with other LGBTQIA+* writers, and our annual Queer Creatives Fest, our mission is to amplify the voices and stories of Queer writers and makers.
*LGBTQIA+ is an abbreviation for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual, and more.
Monthly Meetups
Our free monthly meetups provide a space for LGBTQIA+ writers and creatives of all types to share our stories and connect with community. Queer Creatives sessions currently take place on Zoom and include craft discussions, professional insights, panels, and more. We always have time to respond to creative prompts and share our work.
Queer Creatives Fest
The Queer Creatives Fest is open to writers of all genres and creatives of all types who identify as members of LGBTQIA+ communities. We also welcome folks who are questioning their gender or sexual orientation and those who are in solidarity with LGBTQIA+ communities. Our intention is to center LGBTQIA+ people at the festival.
The third annual Queer Creatives Fest was held on October 25-27, 2024.
