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
