About Us

Hello friends!

The Q LGBTQ Creative Network exists to grow and foster awareness of the global LGBTQ creative community. Originally focused primarily on music artists, it quickly became apparent that the greater LGBTQ creative community has many of the same needs, require much of the same support, and that there is no single space to direct audiences to where they can discover the music, art, and media of the world of LGBTQ creatives.

As a platform, The Q is built on the principles of advocacy. We strive to unite our LGBTQ creatives to better support one another, but also, we work to build new audiences to discover the art and work being created within our community.
