Project Overview

Queer Voices helps to expand opportunities for LGBTQIA+ writers of Minnesota and enhance community-belonging through 1) apprenticeships (resume building, skill-setting, expanding networks, and capacity building); 2) two emerging and mid-career writers' retreats (16-18 participants); 3) hosting space at the Queer holiday market (community exposure for artists allowing the public to purchase from queer artists); 4) three panel discussions; 5) documentation of eight events the events listed. These resources will be distributed online, and archives will be shared with Tretter Collection and the Minnesota Historical Society Press.
