National Queer Arts Festival
Thursday, 22 May 2025 until Friday, 13 June 2025
Mark your calendars! The Spring 2025 National Queer Arts Festival (our 28th annual festival!) returns May 22 through June 13, 2025—all events in-person and overflowing with embodied joy, radical imagination, and unapologetic art.
This season, we embrace the theme Pleasure in the Storm—a sensual, defiant, and visionary call to celebrate queer resilience in the face of chaos. Through the thunder and the tenderness, we gather to honor pleasure as a tool for resistance, rest, and radical reclamation.
In the eye of political and cultural storms, our festival becomes a sanctuary—a place to laugh, cry, dance, rage, heal, and dream together. Join us in this electric convergence as we revel in the power of queer creativity to disrupt, delight, and transform.
The National Queer Arts Festival proudly centers Queer, Trans, Gender Nonconforming, Intersex, Two-Spirit, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (QTI2SBIPOC) artists, uplifting the brilliance and beauty of their work. This spring, come experience the art that moves through the storm—and finds pleasure in the downpour.
