CoLab Mission Statement

Mission Statement:

At Queerlective's Co-Lab, our mission is to create an inclusive and empowering space that celebrates the diverse voices, talents, and experiences of artists and makers. Through collaboration, education, and community engagement, we strive to foster creativity, equity, and social change.

Our mission is guided by the following principles:

1. Inclusivity: We believe in creating an environment that embraces diversity, where individuals of all backgrounds, identities, and abilities feel welcomed, respected, and valued.

2. Collaboration: We foster a culture of collaboration, encouraging artists, makers, and community members to come together, share their skills, and inspire one another through creative exploration.

3. Education: We are committed to providing accessible and enriching educational opportunities in the arts and maker disciplines, empowering individuals to develop their skills, expand their knowledge, and unleash their creative potential.

4. Social Impact: We strive to make a positive impact on society by promoting social justice, addressing systemic inequities, and amplifying marginalized voices through art, activism, and community engagement.

5. Empowerment: We believe in empowering individuals to shape their own narratives and reclaim their stories through artistic expression. We aim to provide a platform for self-discovery, personal growth, and empowerment.

Through our inclusive makerspace, collaborative projects, artist residencies, and community partnerships, we aim to create a vibrant and supportive ecosystem where artists and makers thrive, connections flourish, and creative visions become reality.

Join us at Queerlective's Co-Lab as we build a community that celebrates creativity, fosters inclusivity, and drives meaningful change in the world. Together, we can create a more equitable and vibrant artistic landscape for all.
