ACHF Arts Access
Seven curators will curate six performance artists or performing groups and six visual artists who will showcase their work together for four performances/exhibition times. Artists, curators and technicians will be supported in the process through one curatorial retreat, one artist potluck, one works-in-progress showing, daily circle time during show week, and one post-show aftercare picnic. We will collect feedback from audience members with open-ended prompts on a survey. Artists will evaluate Queertopia, the curators, and each other at the aftercare picnic and evaluation resulting from that picnic will be harvested and considered by curators in future planning.
Eight curators and one guest curator, eight performing artists and three visual artists produced a showcase that served 600 audience members. Artists, curators and technicians built community with each other through participating in one curatorial retreat, one potluck gathering, two works-in-progress showings, daily circle time during tech and performance week and one post-show aftercare picnic.
