Atlanta's Queer Arts Alliance discusses the challenges and achievements of the city's LGBTQ+ arts scene

A conversation, celebration and affirmation of Atlanta’s queer arts community will take place at Out Front Theatre on May 15, with the focus being a panel discussion called “AQuAA Net.” AQuAA, of course, stands for the Atlanta Queer Arts Alliance, founded by Out Front Theatre artistic director Paul Conroy and Out on Film festival director Jim Farmer.

With seven participating organizations represented from across the LGBTQ+ performing arts, “AQuAA Net” aims to remind Atlanta’s queer artists how, in the words of Jim Farmer, “we all fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.” “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes spoke with Farmer and Conroy about the upcoming event.
