About us

Connecting
queer creativity.

Queer Connective is a platform dedicated to showcasing and connecting LGBTQ+ artists and creatives across the UK. We make it easier for curators, organisations and individuals to find queer talent, and give artists a platform to be discovered and booked.

Why we exist

Brilliant LGBTQ+ talent isn’t always easy to organically discover, with opportunities frequently limited to existing networks or mainstream platforms that don’t reflect the diversity of our community.

We created Queer Connective to change that.

Our aim is to make intentional inclusion easier by giving curators, producers, venues and commissioners a simple way to discover and connect with queer artists across every creative industry.

For artists

Showcase your work, your experience and your creative identity. Your profile acts as a professional artist CV, helping you be discovered by the right people. Blue ticks are awarded upon moderator review to creatives with either 10,000+ followers on a single social media platform, or those who have a significant public presence. If a blue tick has not been allocated where you think it should be, please get in contact with us.

For curators & organisations

Find queer talent easily and in one place. Whether you’re building a line-up, commissioning work or looking for collaborators, search by creative industry, specialism and location. You can even save your favourite artists to act as a shortlist and return to later.
