]]> Thu, 2 May 2013 01:29:21 UTC 15166798 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/15166735?utm_medium=rss Please restore the funding to this important festival. Wueer artists are grossly marginalised in this country, in the way our work is reviewed and discussed, and the limited spaces it is able to occupy. Queer Arts Festival centres this work, thereby allowing it to occupy a space that is not peripheral. This is crucial in order for queer artists in Canada to deepen and expand the ways we present, reflect, and understand ourselves and our influence in Canadian culture.

The contribution to culture and the arts that Queer Arts Festival provides to various communities in Vancouver is far reaching and invaluable. Please realize the degree to which this terribly misguided decision will negatively impact programming and consequently the many publics that appreciate what Pride in Art Society and the Queer Arts Festival provides in an artistic, political, and fundamental way.
