Welcome
The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered (GLBT) Arts Consortium...
is a voluntary collaboration of varied arts organizations from the Washington, DC metro area. The organizations run the gamut from choruses and bands, to painters, actors, dancers, and filmmakers. The Consortium's members are as diverse as our community.
The Consortium's purpose is simple: raise the visibility of the GLBT community's arts. In the past, our art was a refuge, one that ultimately helped create visibility and awareness. Today, our art continues to build bridges between communities sometimes divided because of human difference.
The Consortium hopes to strengthen that bridge, by uniting our diverse arts organizations to raise greater visibility within our own community and beyond.
