The Throbbing Rose Collective runs entirely on volunteer labour and community love. Every dollar raised through our Donor Program goes directly to the work: paying artists at CARFAC-recommended fees, funding residencies, covering production costs, and building toward a permanent home for queer art in this city. We believe queer artists deserve to be paid for their labour — not asked to donate it — and your support makes that possible. Whether you give $100 or $5,000, you are not making a charitable gesture. You are investing in a living, working queer arts community that has been showing up for Toronto since 2014.
