As the first event of its kind in Rhode Island, QTZ is a small works fair celebrating the creations of queer, trans, and gender non-conforming artists.

This event is a part of AS220’s fourth annual Queer Arts Festival.

By bringing together over forty exhibitors from Providence and the Greater New England area, QTZ showcases the talent of queer/trans artists and organizations from Providence and the broader independent publishing community.

On Friday, June 15th, the evening before the fair, featured exhibitors will read from their work at New Urban Arts (705 Westminster Street) at 6PM. Vendors will have a variety of books, comics, prints, clothing and affordable artwork for sale.
