Hello from Team QTZ! 🍑
Our venue from 2022-2024, The Steel Yard, is raising money for their end-of-year appeal. Having an accessible, outdoor venue was important to us, and The Steel Yard was the perfect spot. They’ve been close collaborators, and we hope you’ll help them out if you’re able! Link in @thesteelyard bio ✨
When not hosting QTZ and other events, The Steel Yard serves as a shared studio and educational space, providing classes, paid trainings, artist residencies, and more in metalworking and ceramics, plus fabrication of public art and amenities around Providence and beyond. Donations support that work, including programming like scholarships, sliding-scale courses for BIPOC folks, and youth summer camps designed to be safe and affirming for LGBTQ youth.
The final QTZ kicks off TONIGHT with a reading!! 6-8 at @binch.press (400 Harris Ave, Unit F).
And join us at @thesteelyard TOMORROW, 11-5 for the main event!! (27 Sims Ave)
THIS FRIDAY, August 30th! Join us at Binch/QAW for a reading with some of this year’s exhibitors! 400 Harris Ave, Unit F, doors at 6pm, show at 6:30pm. FREE!
