Open Studio: A First Step Toward Something Bigger

In this episode, we reflect on The Bureau of Queer Art’s first-ever Open Studio event—a gathering of current residents, alumni, exhibiting artists, and new voices. Hosted by Micheal Swank, the conversation centers on what it means to share space, exchange stories, and build a creative future across geographies. Hear reflections on the evening, updates on upcoming opportunities like IMMORTAL: Queer Art Fair and 50 Postcards – Pride NOT Permission, and a call to shape what this community looks like moving forward. Whether you're a longtime collaborator or just finding your way in, this one’s for you.
