Welcome to Midsumma's Hub for Queer Arts and Artists in the time of COVID-19
We've seen an influx of positive stories, opportunities, and examples of ways that our queer creative communities have come together at this time. We wanted to share this with you as well. Keep checking on this continually evolving resource to stay in the loop, not miss any of the opportunities on offer and to keep creatively inspired.
We will keep updating our Midsumma Blog with new opportunities and information. If you want us to share your work (or your friends), or you have something you want to contribute - hit us up at [email protected]
If you are experiencing distress and would like to chat with someone please contact a support network from this list here. Or, The Support Act Wellbeing Helpline is a free, confidential counseling service open to anyone working in Australian music or the performing arts - 1800 959 500.
Queer Arts and COVID E6
Tuesday 19 May
Dorothy was right, in Oz "There's no place like home". As restrictions begin to lift, are we are starting to already miss our new found norm? What will come of our love for online art, in-home experiences, and Zoom meetings in pajama bottoms?
Queer Arts and COVID E5
Wednesday 6 April
What skills have you been working on while staying at home? Juggling? Making Sourdough from scratch? Learning a new instrument? Or.... relaxing? Relaxing is a skill that only some of us are fluent in. Sit back, and relax.... you're doing just fine.
Queer Arts and COVID E4
Friday 24 April
It feels like halfway... are we halfway?... There is a sort of buzz in the air as we are congratulated for our collective efforts on staying home, and our creatives become more agile at producing work for online audiences. Where would we be without being able to watch our queer colleagues still share their work with us at this time?

As we see-saw from one emotion to the next, hopefully we are finding some happiness in deep digital conversations, strange Zoom backgrounds, and freely streamed arts that we're still so #blessed to be able to enjoy.
Queer Arts and COVID E2
2 April, 2020
Do you feel like you are getting the hang of #iso now?... Or are you weeks deep into crazy town?.... Either way, here is some reprieve from COVID-19 from our queer and arts communities.
