Join the Throbbing Rose Collective

Since 2014, the Throbbing Rose Collective has created opportunities for queer artists through exhibitions, festivals, artist residencies, public programming, and community building. Today, we are growing into a year-round organization that supports artists, curators, writers, performers, educators, and cultural workers across Canada.

We believe queer art changes communities. Membership is an opportunity to help shape that future.

Please see our official Policy Statement & Action Plan on Anti-Racism, Access, & Equity for more information.

Members receive:

  • Opportunities to exhibit in member exhibitions

  • Eligibility for member-only calls

  • Invitations to studio visits, critiques, and salon gatherings

  • Priority access to residencies

  • Promotion through our website and social media

  • Opportunities to curate and lead projects

We are building Canada’s leading year-round queer visual arts organization. Every new member helps make that future possible. Membership is open to artists, curators, writers, performers, educators, arts workers, and community members who share our commitment to supporting queer arts and culture.
