1) Intro:
CalArts Queer Arts Collective (QAC) is a fancy collection of artists from all mediums and schools of CalArts, creating work, ideas and community. While we're clearly a queer-centered collective (or LGBTIQQSSA or ABCDEFG or whatever floats your boat), we invite all queer-friendly and friendly-in-general folk to take part in this safe community.
2) Meetings:
Our first meeting (with FREE PIZZA) for the year is
Tuesday, Sept 27 - 12noon in Tatum Cafe
And meetings will continue every Tuesday until the end of time and space as we know it. We will be introducing, making friends and possible discussing the following two items:
3) National Coming Out Day: Oct 11 - Chris Vargas Screening
We should start planning as soon as we can. We are already in talks of screening Chris Vargas and Greg Youman's queer/trans video sitcom. Check it out: http://www.fallinginlovewithchrisandgreg.com/
4) QAC Show:
Our annual QAC Group Show is coming up! It usually takes place around Halloween in late October-early November. We can talk about it on a political and conceptual level (what does it mean to have a queer art show, what does it mean to self-identify as a queer artist, should it be curated, etc) and on a silly level (opening reception food?). ¡Que fancy!
