Founded in 1993, the Queer Cultural Center (Qcc) is a multidisciplinary 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 multicultural perspective on the lesbian gay bi transgender experience.
Harvey Milk Institute
www.harveymilk.org
HMI conducts programs that present and interpret works by contemporary and historical lesbian gay bi transgender 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 and to encourage self-examination. New catalog available August 2001.
