Queerlective was founded by 4 queer creatives in the summer of 2022. The team saw a need in the community for consistent and engaging gatherings throughout the year for the diverse community in New Hampshire.
Our Vision
- We envision a society where queer expression is embraced and celebrated.
Our Mission
- We celebrate and uplift our shared humanity through queer joy, art, and community connection.
Our Beliefs
- Queerness is a radical reclamation of power in a world that expects sameness and status quo
- Everyone has artistic potential and a right to self-expression; no art is bad art
- Community is how we care for one another and catalyze transformative change
- Everyone has the power to create change
- Authenticity demands that we focus on what’s real, even if it’s hard
- We are not afraid to fail; we embrace growth
Queerlective is building a future where art and community are the glue that holds us together. Through community-led events, creative programming, and collaborations with advocacy organizations, we create spaces for queer joy, connection, and empowerment.
Your donation helps sustain our work—supporting local artists, funding community-led initiatives, and expanding access to art as a tool for change. Whether it's providing materials for creative gatherings, funding stipends for facilitators, or strengthening our advocacy efforts, every contribution makes a difference.
CoLab: Where Art, Resilience, and Advocacy Come Together
- CoLab is Queerlective’s community-powered creative space. A shared resource where art-making, mutual support, and collective action live side by side. CoLab is the cornerstone of our vision for a growing New Hampshire social change ecosystem.
- Queerlective has always seen itself as a pioneer, laying the groundwork for a more just and joyful future. CoLab sits at the heart of that vision. From hosting vibrant community events like the Trans Resource Fair, Comic Jam, Zine Workshops, Yarn & Yap, and Paint Lab, to launching public art projects like the Queer Icon Trivia Scavenger Hunt (featured at Manchester Pride 2024), CoLab is where creativity meets purpose.
- The space also features a Queer Little Library filled with zines and books by and for our community, and it serves as the home base for our online store supporting local queer artists.
- Help us grow CoLab as a hub for community connection, creative leadership, and transformative joy.
State of Queer, NH
- The State of Queer NH Resource Book is a living, community-powered guide to queer- and BIPOC-friendly resources across the Granite State. From affirming mutual aid groups to queer-owned businesses, local artists, and inclusive venues, this book is built to help our communities connect, survive, and thrive.
