QTM is pleased to announce that we are working with so many amazing community groups that our chest space is continually seizing. We have a variety of expertise, creativity and passion on this project including:
Northwest Gay and Lesbian History Museum Project
Old Lesbians Organizing for Change

The Incluseum, simply put is working to encourage social inclusion in museums and so are we. The Incluseum asked for a post about the work we have been doing with QTM. Without a second though we did it. This post lays out the next year of QTM projects, Queer is here and in our Museums.
So the Queering the Art Museum symposium came and went in a flash. We worked hard, got all the loose ends tied up and now we are pushing into the next project. We are focusing on creating our community advisory committee for the Queering the History Museum project. Our CAC will help us connect with resources, share ideas and provide experiences. Connecting with the community drives our passion and we look forward to your support for the future of QTM.
If you know someone or group that is ideal for our CAC don’t be shy!
