Education and Awareness

We strive to raise awareness about the rich tapestry of queer culture and history. Through educational programs, classes, exhibitions, and public events, we aim to foster understanding, empathy, and respect for LGBTQ+ experiences.

Research and Documentation

Our foundation actively engages in research projects that unearth and document the often-overlooked stories and contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals. We seek to compile and share this valuable knowledge to challenge stereotypes and promote a more accurate representation of queer history.

Mentorship and Support

We believe in empowering emerging queer artists, designers, writers, musicians, and activists. Through mentorship programs, we provide guidance, resources, and networking opportunities to help LGBTQ+ talents thrive and make their mark on the world.

Residencies and Creative Spaces

The Queer Culture Arts Foundation is dedicated to creating safe and exemplary spaces where queer artists can express themselves freely. We offer residencies and creative grants in Fire Island Pines to nurture and showcase queer artistic endeavors, fostering a vibrant and diverse creative community.

Advocacy and Inclusivity

We actively advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, acceptance, and inclusion at all levels of society. By collaborating with like-minded organizations and individuals, we challenge discrimination and promote policies that protect the freedoms and rights of queer individuals.

Community Building

Building a strong and supportive LGBTQ+ community is the foundation of our mission. We organize events, classes, forums, and offerings that promote unity, resilience, and social connections among queer individuals and their allies.

Preservation and Archiving

We are committed to preserving LGBTQ+ history, artifacts, and cultural expressions for future generations. Our foundation maintains archives and collections that safeguard the legacy of the queer community.
