Your Creativity, Your Rules,
Your Revolution!
A 3-day virtual experience to spark fresh creative ideas, supercharge your inspiration, and connect you with a vibrant, supportive queer creative community!
Hey there, queer creative 
You’ve got ideas, dreams, and a creative spark that refuses to be dimmed. But sometimes, you need a space that truly gets you! A place where your creativity can thrive without limits, without expectations, and with a whole lot of support.
That’s exactly why the
Queer Creativity Summit exists!
On March 31-April 2, we’re bringing together friggin epic queer creatives to explore new ideas, fan your creative fire, and build a community that last beyond the event. Whether you're an artist, writer, entrepreneur, or just someone looking to tap into their creativity, this is your space to experiment, express, and create—loudly and unapologetically.
Let’s make some magic together.
Are you in?
Unbridled Queer Inspiration
Get fired up by queer creatives who’ve turned their self-expression into pure joy, fulfillment, and purposeful rebellion. You’ll leave feeling unstoppable—ready to make, play, and create without second-guessing yourself.
A Creative Energy Recharge You Didn’t Know You Needed
If you’ve been feeling creatively drained or uninspired, this summit is your chance to reset, refuel, and reignite your creative spark.
Tap Into Your Creative Flow
Get practical, no-pressure exercises to tap into your creativity—yes, even if you don’t think you’re “artistic” (spoiler alert: you already are!!).
Permission to Make a Mess & Have FUN
You can’t have art or fun if you’re scared of making a mess! It’s time to silence your inner critic, unleash your inner child, and create just for the joy of it.
Queer-Led, Judgment-Free Zone
Step into a community where your self-expression is celebrated, affirmed, and cheered on every step of the way.
Queer Creative Joy for ALL!
You were never meant to do this alone. Find your people, fellow queer creatives who see you, hype you up, and remind you that YOUR voice matters!
The QUEER CREATIVITY SUMMIT is for...
- Queer folks who want to feel more creative and free in their self-expression
- Artists, makers, performers, and storytellers looking for new inspiration and tools

Grab your ticket and join me and 21 other queer speakers for a one-of-a-kind event that will help you tap into your creativity and joy.
I can’t wait to see you there!

"But wait… is the Queer Creativity Summit really for me?"

“I’m not creative or artistic.”
Creativity isn’t just for painters and poets! Whether you’re a storyteller, a joke-cracker, a home cook, or someone who just wants to bring more play into your life, this summit will help you tap into the creativity you already have. Human beings are inherently creative!
“I don’t have time.” The sessions are bite-sized, packed with practical tips, and totally free to attend live—come to what you can! Even one spark of inspiration could shift your creative energy and bring more joy into your life.
“I don’t know what I’d create.” That’s exactly why this summit exists! Our presenters will guide you through unexpected, fun, and accessible ways to create—no experience needed. You might just discover a brand-new passion!
“I don’t feel ‘queer enough’ to be here.” You belong. Whether you’re out and proud, questioning, or just looking for a space that celebrates self-expression, this summit is for anyone who wants to experience more joy through creativity.
“I’ve been stuck creatively.” We’ve all been there. The best way to get unstuck? Surround yourself with inspiring, joyful, queer creative energy—and that’s exactly what you’ll find here.
So, what do you say? Ready to create some queer joy together?!
It’s time to stop thinking you’re not creative and instead tap into creativity & joy.
