Founded in July 2007, Voices Rising continues to be the only organization in the Northwest which exists solely to nurture and promote the arts and culture of LGBTQ people of color. We present performances, workshops, visual art exhibitions, video/film screenings, and information tabling. We produce an annual season of programming that builds a repository for the works of LGBTQ artists of color and creates an incubator of ideas for these artists and the audiences they engage. We are committed to increasing visibility and venues for artists to present and promote their work.
