  • a mighty and truly empowering event

    “The Queering the Arts Festival was a mighty and truly empowering event at Small Point, Adam’s Cove, Blackhead, and Broad Cove. For me, it was a transformative celebration of inclusivity, creativity, and unapologetic expression—proving once again the pivotal role that the arts and culture play not only for my but also for my community’s thriving and well-being.”

  • Celebrating life!

    “From the newcomer queer perspective, the festival is making me feel at home and free to express my feeling and music and I believe the next Come Home Queer will be bigger. 
    and thank you for having me. Celebrating life!”

  • queer joy and community

    This festival was one of queer joy and community. Seeing so many faces (old and new) coming together in rural Newfoundland and Labrador to celebrate the arts and our community was something I’ll treasure for a very long time. I look forward to the next event..
