What We Value

  • A Safe Place

    As queer folks ourselves, we are dedicated to providing a safe and celebratory space for queer artists and non-queer artists alike.

  • Accessibility

    The art world is a difficult and confusing world to navigate. We aim to keep our costs and procedures accessible to artists from all levels of experience.

  • A Growing Community

    We aim to foster an active community that connects artists with one another, and with the broader Lowertown neighborhood. This collaborative environment allows artists to share knowledge, inspire growth, and develop their professional careers.
