Our mission is to nurture a vibrant queer community, fostering creativity, connection, and collaboration in spaces where every voice is celebrated, free from judgment and filled with possibility.

We envision a world where every queer individual is embraced by a community that champions belonging, support, and care. We move towards this vision by creating spaces focused on collaboration over competition and creativity as a life-affirming practice.

• Equity and Intersectionality: We acknowledge the deep disparities exist, especially for those of us at the intersection of marginalized identities. We aim to dismantle barriers to full participation and ensure equitable opportunities for expression and participation, giving every individual the space and support to be heard and recognized.

• Creativity: We cherish and promote creativity as a vital, life-affirming practice that drives both personal and collective growth, emphasizing that creativity should be accessible to all.

• Queerness as a State of Being: Expanding the concept of queerness beyond sexuality to encompass all aspects of life, including our relationship with nature, each other, and our creative expressions.

• Radical Acceptance: We fully embrace radical acceptance, recognizing the courage it takes to share creative expression with others. Our environment honors and celebrates these acts, ensuring that every sketch and every note is deeply valued. By fostering a space where vulnerability is met with unwavering support, we facilitate healing and growth.

• Joy and Playfulness: Reigniting joy and playfulness through creative expression, celebrating the light-hearted and the profound.

• Community Resilience: Strengthening community resilience through shared experiences, creative collaboration, and collective meaning-making.

• Fluidity: Our community and organization adapt to the needs of its members, guided by the desires and skills of those who attend. We craft our activities around what participants want to offer.

• Accessibility: Collaborative, pay what you can, no minimum - always.
