A vibrant show of visibility and defiant joy, the Portland Queer Arts Spectacular returns for it’s second year with an unforgettable night of live performance celebrating the richness of queer identity and expression.
Curated by Artistic Director Franco Nieto (he/him) and hosted by Portland favorite David Saffert (he/him), this year’s theme—“Do You See Me?”—asks artists and audiences alike to reflect on presence, witness, and the transformative power of being truly seen.
This one-night-only multidisciplinary performance features original work in music, dance, and spoken word from a powerhouse lineup of LGBTQ+ artists. Emotional, electric, and unapologetically queer, the Spectacular is a joyful reminder that our stories matter and our voices belong on every stage.
