UPCOMING EVENTS
Queer Performance Art & Drag Summit
Saturday May 4
9AM-7 PM
BELFAST, ME
Join us to explore the intersections of performance art and drag and our rural LGBTQ+ experiences! Summits are places to gather in community, (re)connect with and actively queer rural traditions, build relationships and trust among other rural and small town LGBTQ+ people, celebrate & grieve together, and create a roadmap to move us closer to our collectively liberated and joyful futures.
Drag and performance art are tools for expanding our understandings of gender and gender expression. Playgrounds of costume and authenticity. Liberation from societal standards and expectations of the gender binary and beauty stereotypes. Drag and performance arts are for everybody, but especially queer bodies.
Please reach out to Jace (Jace@WeAreOutintheOpen.org) with any questions.
WORK PARTY at OUR PLACE!!! Saturday May 11
11AM-2 PM
Join us at our first community event at our permanent home! It’s like our Earth Gays/Farm Work Days but at our own place! We’ll be raking leaves, collecting wood to make burn piles, clipping little trees, clearing areas for future parking, wheelbarrowing gravel to repair the driveway, marveling at frogs in the pond, and more! All with the aim of making the land more accessible for our whole community.
We will have some tools on-hand, please bring any you have with you as well!
We are so so excited to share this magical place with you this weekend and for years to come.
Please RSVP for the address by completing this short form! We’ll send you parking info then as well.
There are no existing buildings yet. The only bathroom available will be a portapotty. Please be advised that the ground will be uneven, and possibly slippery in some places. This gathering will be outdoors, and we’ll have N95 masks available for anyone who wants one.
Please reach out to HB (HB@WeAreOutintheOpen.org) with any questions.
See you soon!
