We’re thrilled to announce the first annual Bloomfest, a Springtime networking gathering open to all LGBTQIA+ and queer-allied creatives, small business owners, and community leaders in Western Mass and beyond!

The vision for Bloomfest is to curate an annual opportunity to connect with creative community and emerge into a new season with new inspiration.

This year, we are excited to be working with Sharona Color at The Color Collaborative to create a community collage! The collage centers around the idea, “Change is coming. What do we need to imagine?” inspired by the song “Change is Coming” on local Jewish Queer musician Molly Bajgot’s new album Revelry. This song was inspired by the question posed by Adrienne Marie Brown in their book, Emergent Strategy.

Cultivate an accessible ecosystem of support

We’re seeking sponsors to support this unique networking opportunity.

Sponsors benefit from a range of advertising activities and support our ability to continue hosting LGBTQIA+-affirming events and creating rich opportunities for LGBTQIA+ artists and entrepreneurs to grow professionally.
