Queerlective is powered by the belief that art and community are essential tools for building a more just, joyful world.

Our Vision

We envision a society where queer expression is embraced and celebrated.

Our Mission

We celebrate and uplift our shared humanity through queer joy, art, and community connection.

Our Core Values

  • Equity

    We prioritize equity in how our organization operates, who we serve, and how we care for our community.

  • Community-Centered

    Our community is what makes us strong. We listen and respond to our community’s needs.

  • Queer Joy

    Queer joy is centered in our every word and action.

  • Collaboration

    Collaboration is key to creating the world we envision. Social change does not happen in a vacuum.

Our Beliefs

  • Queerness is a radical reclamation of power in a world that expects sameness and status quo
  • Everyone has artistic potential and a right to self-expression; no art is bad art
  • Community is how we care for one another and catalyze transformative change
  • Everyone has the power to create change
  • Authenticity demands that we focus on what’s real, even if it’s hard
  • We are not afraid to fail; we embrace growth

"Queer like escaping definition. Queer like some sort of fluidity and limitlessness at once. Queer like a freedom too strange to be conquered. Queer like the fearlessness to imagine what love can look like...and pursue it."
Brandon Wint

Our Strategies

  • Art for Social Change

    We use art to bring people together and foster self-expression as a means of caring for our community and creating transformative change.
