QAF'99
This series of cultural events, exhibitions, performances, screenings, and interpretive programs has been organized by The Queer Cultural Center (Qcc) and The Harvey Milk Institute. The Festival is produced in collaboration with numerous Bay Area non-profit arts organizations including SomArts, The Mission Cultural Center for Latino Art and The Center for African & African American Art & Culture and many others whose events you will find here.

The National Queer Arts Festival highlights nationally significant queer artists. Here you will find visual art, dance, theater, a series of literature and poetry readings with artists discussing their work, film and video screenings, and a wide array of multi-disciplinary programs.

This series could not have been produced without the assistance of countless organizations and individuals, including, but not limited to: Tom Ammiano, Sue Bierman, Jack Davis (SomArts), June Gutefleish, Leslie Katz, Jenni Rodriguez, Mabel Teng, Kola Akintola Thomas, Leland Yee, and dozens of dedicated artists and volunteers.

The Queer Arts Festival 1999 has been financially supported by the South of Market Cultural Center, the Center for African and African American Art and Culture, the Mission Cultural Center for the Latino Arts, the Bayview Opera House, the California Arts Council, the California Council for the Humanities, the Cultural Equity Initiatives Grants program of the San Francisco Arts Commission, Grants for the Arts, (the SF HotelTax Fund), the Horizons Foundation, Digital Queers, the San Francisco Foundation's Gateways Initiative, the Vanguard Foundation and the Zellerbach Family Fund..

Founded in 1993 the Queer Cultural Center (Qcc) is a multi-disciplinary arts presenting organization that conducts artistic and interpretive programs exploring queer identity issues. Our programs promote the careers of Lesbian Gay Bi Transgender artists, foster the growth of queer arts organizations and serve queer and non-queer audiences alike. By presenting, exhibiting, and screening queer artists’ work, Qcc contributes a multi-cultural perspective on the Lesbian Gay Bi Transgender experience.

Harvey Milk Institute
www.gayglobalsf.com/harveymilk

HMI conducts programs that present and interpret works by contemporary and historical Lesbian/Gay artists and critical thinkers and that explore community and personal issues within the context of queer culture. The goal of the Harvey Milk Institute is to offer educational opportunities to students in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, and queer communities, and our friends. Our course offerings are wide-ranging and diverse, encompassing practical, artistic, cultural and intellectual aspects of queer studies. We seek to foster understanding and communication between the diverse aspects of our community, as well as self-examination. New catalog available August 1999.
