Welcome to Artfully Queer Digital Edition Workshops 2024-25. Thanks to the generous support of Clarence City Council, Artfully Queer is offering a series of free, online creative workshops. We're encouraging LGBTQ+ creatives to dabble in forms of digital expression such as short film, drag music videos, digital illustration and other forms of digital art and time-based media destined for a screen.
​
In April 2025 we will be holding a Artfully Queer Digital Edition Showcase Screenings at Rosny Barn, Rosny. Work proceeded through these workshops will be included (with creators consent) in Artfully Queer - TIME Exhibition at the Long Gallery Salamanca Arts Centre and on the TasPride website.
Because we’re going fully digital this year, and because its free, Artfully Queer Digital Edition will be equally accessible for all Tasmanians*.
If you’re interested in participating in the 2024-25 Artfully Queer Digital Edition, sign up for the free workshops below.
