Help Us Keep the Castro Queer A.F!!

Hello Queer A.F. Friends and Family!

First, let us say how incredibly grateful we are to everyone who has been involved in making this space happen. Because of you, Queer Arts Featured has become the community and creative center of our dreams!

We're only just getting started, we're ready for 2023, and we want you to be a part of it! If each of you gives the same as your initial donation, we’ll reach our goal of $70,000 to carry us into the New Year!!

We have been blessed to have the most amazing supporters, creators, donors, and community members help us make Queer A.F. a place to create opportunity, build community, and celebrate art for the last six months. In short, Queer Arts Featured has been a runaway success, and it's all thanks to you.

We have opened seven exhibitions, shown and sold the work of over 70 artists and makers, hosted dozens of workshops and events from healing arts to rope bondage, and met thousands of incredible folks from around the world, in only six months, and having raised half of our initial fundraising goal!

Erika, Fadi, and Devlin have decided we WILL be signing our lease for the New Year! However, that comes with a 135% increase on our rent, with tourists still slowly filtering back into The Castro. Additionally, the Queer A.F. founders have kept this space open and alive by volunteering our time, energy, and love, and it’s time to be paid for our efforts!

To ensure our success and future, we hope you will contribute to help us reach our initial goal of $70,000.00 and give us the opportunity to pay our new rent, hire a shopkeeper, keep our commission rates low and build a whole new set of shows, programs, and collaborations. With your help, Queer A.F. will soar into the New Year and provide our community with all new offerings and celebrations!

We can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done to support already, and we hope you’ll join us in keeping the space alive and vibrant in 2023!
