Subject: [queerart] Qcc eNewsletter June 2005 - National Queer Arts
Festival 2005!!!
Qcc - Queer Cultural Center
Welcome to the astonishingly late Second newsletter of The Queer
Cultural Center! We've been devoting ourselves to bringing you the best
ever National Queer Arts Festival yet and haven't had time to put cursor
to email.
This newsletter - the first of four, one a week - will focus on our
first week of performance, visual arts openings, films and parties for
this year's Festival! Week One starts earlier than ever this year and we
don't stop the fun until the 30th!
Don't miss out--catalogues have been dropped around town and are
available at The Center, Jon Sims and SomArts and many coffee shops
around town. Events are already beginning to sell, so if you're
interested in attending a show, please visit www.queerculturalcenter.org
where you can download a ticket form or pay online with Paypal.
In the wake of today's economy, Qcc has pledged to keep prices as low as
we can: most of our shows are $5-$15 sliding scale so that everyone can
attend. No one is ever turned away. This helps us get a larger audience,
and since the artists take the bulk of the ticket prices, we ask our
audience to please pay as much as they are comfortable paying to help
fund the artists! Qcc pays for technicians and venue costs (which have
in some case nearly doubled since last year) as well as the promotion
and publicity. So come and see as many shows as you can-for whatever
price you can afford!
Down to business!
