Hi! I’m Lauren Garcia, the new Executive Director of Q***r Cultural Center 💖

I’ve spent my career building infrastructure for creative communities, working at the intersection of art, strategy, and movement building. Like many nonprofit workers (and many eldest daughter Boricuas 💁‍♀️), I’ve done a little bit of everything: executive leadership, creative direction for legacy publications, Black feminist media ventures, live event production, and lots of grassroots organizing. What ties all of it together is a belief that creative practice and community care are the same liberatory work.

I’m honored to be leading QCC into its next chapter. This organization has been a home for q***r artists in the Bay Area since 1992, and I’m here to make sure it endures.

Stay tuned for a beautiful 2026 season!

This year may throw a lot at us as a community, and that just makes q***r and trans art all the more important. We know we're excited to see what our incredibly creative community will create this year!

Did you know QCC's work extends way beyond just the National Q***r Arts Festival. Our cultural incubator program has provided administrative and fundraising support to dozens of QTBIPOC and LGBTQ2S+ arts organizations over our three decades of protecting q***r arts. This has included helping organizations like BAAITS, Sean Dorsey Dance, and QWOCMAP become thriving arts organizations of their own.

It's been a busy year for QCC as we continue to work hard to protect QTBIPOC arts and artists in an environment of increasing censorship and erasure. Just this year, we supported more than 210 artists through our and our incubated organizations' projects, disbursed more than $60k in direct financial support to artists, incubated 11 LGBTQ+ arts organizations, and produced six unique QTBIPOC cultural events.

We're dedicated to sustaining our movement through trans and q***r arts and culture, and we've got some great plans for next year! Help us do this important work by donating to our end of year campaign at givebutter.com/QCC2025
