Queer Ancestors Project Prints!
This workshop is for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender nonbinary, genderqueer, queer, questioning, and intersex people, ages 18-26, who are interested in exploring their Queer and Trans ancestry. We’ll spend 5 fabulous months together studying linocut printmaking and Q/T history. The workshop is free and supplies are included. Throughout the workshop we’ll share our experiences, encourage exploration, support each other’s creativity, and honor one another’s visions. The workshop will culminate in a group exhibition!
Chrysalis Studio Director Katie Gilmartin will teach the workshop, along with a variety of guest speakers. Katie's goals for the workshop are for artists to develop artistically, build relationships with their ancestors and one another, and be well-supported and empowered as Queer and Trans artists.

Queer Ancestors Project Writes!
Queer Ancestors Project Writes is a free writing workshop for LGBTQQI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, genderqueer, queer, questioning, and intersex) people ages 18-26. In this 16-week workshop, led by the amazing Celeste Chan, we will explore queer/trans histories, write across multiple genres, create a mini-zine, and publish original creative work in QAP’s anthology. While there are no grades and minimal homework, regular attendance is required as we will be completing 6 assignments during our time together. The workshop will culminate in our anthology publication, and final readings/ celebrations.
QAP Writes welcomes writers at any level of experience - we will be building art muscles together and generating new work for publication. Come learn, come experiment, come join our supportive and creative community.
Workshop and events held at wheelchair-accessible locations.
