About

The Queer Arts and Culture Network (QACN) is a community-based, by and-for Queer Art Organization that serves Queer and gender-diverse creators across Turtle Island. QACN is dedicated to empowering creators, reimagining systems, and co-creating communities of care, liberation, and shared resilience.Founded in 2023, QACN supports Queer and gender-diverse artists through collaborative spaces, resources, and programming. We amplify diverse narratives, nurture community resilience, and challenge oppressive systems that hinder creativity and limit our collective well being. Our vision is a thriving Queer arts and culture ecosystem that uplifts Two Spirit, Queer, and trans artists, fostering systems of care, liberation, and shared resilience.QACN was established to address the urgent need for community-led, systemic support for Queer and gender-diverse artists. These creators face a landscape shaped by overlapping social, institutional, and economic challenges—including rising anti-Queer and anti-trans hate, economic precarity, and exclusionary practices within traditional arts and cultural spaces.
