Queer transmedia art celebrating the bold non-conformity of our community
Call for Submissions for OUTsider Fest 2026 now open!
OUR MISSION
OUTsider is an Austin-based transmedia nonprofit that celebrates the bold originality and creative nonconformity of the LGBTQ+ communities through the presentation of provocative, overlooked and out-of-the-box film, dance, theater, performance art, music, writing and visual art.
Through its annual art festival and iconic Conference on the Couch, OUTsider unites queer artists, audiences and scholars from around the globe to exchange ideas, ignite conversations, transcend boundaries and experience new pleasures through artistic discovery.
