Overview
Qcc (also known as Queer Cultural Center) is a multiracial, community-building organization that fosters the artistic, economic, and cultural development of San Francisco’s LGBT community. Qcc commissions and presents queer artists, promoting the development of culturally diverse artists and arts organizations, and contributes to the development of a multicultural perspective on the LGBT experience. The most noted of its programs is the annual, month-long National Queer Arts Festival, which will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2017, presenting 20 commissioned works across 25 events. With continued support, Qcc will begin extending more than one-third of the festival to Oakland to respond to demographic shifts in the Bay Area. The organization will also continue to improve its audience surveying, build operational capacities, and improve its financial sustainability.
