The Queer Open Stage monthly event that aims to provide a safe, sober, accessible performance space where 2SLGBTQIA+ artists and community members can gather and connect. The series started in the fall of 2022 in collaboration with local singer-songwriter Sara Rose (they/them), who coordinates and hosts it.

Each month a featured artist is invited to perform, and there are a number of slots open for other performers. Past events have included everything from music and poetry to comedy and drag!
