Also a reminder: there's only one week left to submit pieces for our "Art is Not Enough" Zine. We need all sorts of media - fine art, design, illustration, non-fiction writing, fiction writing, poetry, photography, and anything else you can think of that can be printed.

Hosted by Columbia Pride, GENDER FUSIONS is an
annual event celebrating the intergenerational
accomplishments and experiences of our q***r
community; our art, culture, and activism.

We’re looking for live performances of music, dance,
poetry, prose, stand up comedy, plays, and short films
(must include captions) BY members of the q***r
community and FOR the same. This year, under our
theme of “Art is Not Enough”, we are looking for
art-as-activism, but all works will be considered.
Stage performance slots are 5 minutes max.

In addition to the performance aspect of GENDER
FUSIONS, this year we are creating a zine with the title
“Art is Not Enough”. We are requesting works of prose,
poetry, non-fiction/essay, and visual art (photography, digital illustration, painting, mixed media, etc) also with a theme of
art-as-activism. This zine will be sold, with proceeds
benefitting the Broadway Youth Center, a local Chicago
organization for at-risk q***r youth.

Submit all works at:

Zine submissions due
April 7th

Performance submissions due
