A CELEBRATION OF FEMALE AND QUEER ARTISTS

DON'T MISS OUT ON THE FUN, THE FASHION, THE CREATIVE, THE CRUDE, THE CRASS, THE BEATS, THE BEAUTY, THE SPIRITUAL, THE SENSUOUS, THE TALENT, THE ART!

"Rock your MIND, BODY, AND SOUL to The Real Dionysus's Drum and Bass/Indy Beats, while you check out local art for purchase and perusal.

Get a henna tattoo, your tarot read, or a love poem written, while you watch the flashy, talented, and downright out...rageous entertainers on the stage."

Opening reception on Sat 6/4 is FREE!

(SomArts is wheelchair-accessible and encourages all folks attending the opening to refrain from wearing scented products for those with chemical/fragrance sensitives)

Inspired by the late 1960s utopian builders’ guide A Whole Earth Catalog, QIY: Queer It Yourself – Tools for Survival presents a forum for queer do-it-yourself culture and alternative world making.

Come for an evening of CREATION with other women in a relaxed cafe with over 40 seating spaces (chairs and tables). Enjoy wine, beer, coffee and tea while you make art and craft, write, and have fun and meet new people.

You don't have to be an "artist" to come. This is for everyone who wants to play. Bring an art or craft or writing project you are working on or have always wanted to work on and lacked the time and/or inspiration to go on.

First GLBT History Museum in the United States
Announces Grand Opening for January 13

SAN FRANCISCO — Internationally renowned as a center for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans gender culture, San Francisco soon will welcome yet another groundbreaking queer institution: The GLBT History Museum. A project of the GLBT Historical Society, an archives and research center established in 1985, the new museum will be the first of its kind in the United States. The formal grand opening is set for Jan. 13, 2011

We are THE RESOLUTIONISTS!

What does that mean is anyone's guess, come to the event, to find out. (ok ok we'll tell you in a few days)

Short for Spontaneous queer art, SQUART was originally conceived by Laura Arrington, out of the desire to foster community and create work without preciousness.

Both THEOFFCENTER and SOMArts celebrate Laura’s passion and are committed to wholeheartedly support the production of this event.

Mer Zandifar, Iranian-American art, music, and hypnosis therapist, will lead workshop participants to use their voices to move past self consciousness and into powerful self- and community expression.

This event is part of the National Queer Arts Fest :http://www.queerculturalcenter.org/
