Fairy Tales Presentation Society and Swallow-a-Bicycle Theatre are thrilled to present Q the Arts, Calgary's inaugural Queer Arts & Cultural Festival! The festival will feature a broad spectrum of artistic genres, including visual art, theatre, music, dance and spoken word, with artists from Calgary and across Canada.

As Calgary's Queer Arts & Culture Festival, Q the Arts will embrace artists who are LGBTTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, two-spirit and questioning), and also those who subscribe to culturally, politically, artistically and otherwise alternative and innovative ways of contributing to society. Queer is a vista, a way of looking at the world differently, with an eye towards diversity, critical thinking and inclusion.

Don't miss this landmark event! This one-day festival is a celebration of Calgary's LGBTTQ community and of our city's diversity and inclusivity. Mark your calendars for March 5 and prepare yourselves for a decidedly queer evening of art & culture.
