Dedicated to Queer Joy

  • Who we are

    The Queer Joy Collaborative is about creating spaces for connection through joy. We began as a chorus, and continue to center music as a means of building community, but we’re turning it into so much more. We dreamed of growing our chorus and other programming to foster and support queer joy through arts and mutual aid.

  • What we've started

    The Queer Joy Collaborative was founded in June of 2024 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with the mission of promoting queer joy through the healing power of the arts and mutual aid. We are constantly adding programming and staff to serve the needs of our growing community. We see Queer Joy as an act of necessary resistance and we invite you to resist with us.

  • Programs

    The Collaborative launched with the Queer Joy Chorus in September 2024. In January of 2025, we added the Rhythm & Radiance Kids Chorus, and the Sending Joy Postcard program. In Fall, 2025 we also added ROAR to the list of programs we’re delighted to lift up.

    Our core values also include paying staff a living wage, and offering programs that are accessible to people of all abilities.

  • You're IN!

    Queer Joy Collaborative is built by and for the queer community and our allies. Please help us by sharing our programming, events, and website with your communities. Your engagement with our content helps us grow, and hopefully brings you a little joy along the way!
