Program

The festival included two keynote addresses, two performances, two artists panels, an artist networking event, and two interdisciplinary workshops. These events fostered community building and nuanced conversations about queer identity, experiences, and artmaking. A 2024 festival attendee shared, "Queer Spectra Art Festival provides artistic opportunity and space for LGBTQ+ community support. As art spaces and shows often gatekeep queer artists and how they showcase their work, the Queer Spectra Art Festival wholeheartedly supports and welcomes a wide range of diverse artists of different skill levels and medium."
