About how WFQ came to be:
May 2nd, 11 am - 6pm in building Suite #2112 Building #16
I decided to put this event together after working and vending at various art markets and cons for the last 25 years and some prodding from friends and family.
I noticed a pattern.
Queer? Disabled? Fat? Unconventional?
Anything classed as ‘other’?
These voices may not always be silenced, but they are often downplayed, ignored, made small, if not mocked.
I wanted to create a space that not only amplifies those voices but also celebrates all of us and cheers loudest for the fringes.
You may not fall under any of this umbrella, but someone you care about probably does and what a lovely thing for them to have something special.
I hope this is an event where *everyone* shines their brightest.
We’ve gone out of our way to make the vendors and featured guests feel considered and cared for, another thing I feel sets this event apart from many contemporaries.
About Elly:
I am an interdisciplinary disabled queer (Pan) artist based in the Philadelphia suburbs,
I’ve been making art in some form or fashion for 35+ years. I create art with pencils, water color, gouache, acrylic paint, polymer clay, alcohol inks, resin and lots and lots of glitter.

About our featured Vendor/Artist:
@catcancraft I’m a little biased as Cat is one of my favorite humans on the planet and a huge source of friendship and support for over a decade.
Please support my much-cooler-than-me friend and shop her insanely well-appointed closet for baddies and fashionistas.
Also a talented artist as well, Cat has been creating art the entire time I have known her and can bring to life both detailed oceanic sculptures (one of the most insane octopus sculptures I’ve ever seen, it’s in a book!!) to kitchy mini food sculptures, to her iconic costumes and cosplays, Barf, Pom Wonderful (Yes THAT’s HER!) and of course, what Simpson’s lover could forger her stunning portrayal of Lard Lad!
Her artistic sensibilities run through her wardrobe choices! Come check her out right next to the @ellyrox booth @wfqphilly

@diffusedbydarby Diffused by D’Arby, established in March 2023. Inspired by a passion for enhancing living spaces with inviting aromas and seeking a fulfilling pursuit beyond traditional employment, they embarked on creating bespoke diffusers.
This journey began as they approached retirement, leading to dedicated research, rigorous testing, and an appreciation for the creative process, ultimately culminating in the founding of Diffused by D’Arby.
The business is named after their youngest granddaughter, whose input often influences product offerings.
Crafting these products brings a sense of peace and satisfaction, and it is her hope that customers will find similar enjoyment in their fragrances.
Their diffusers are suitable for any room and can be used even in smaller spaces such as closets.
