OUR IMPACT

Since our launch, OUTsider has presented an annual 5-day performance showcase and 3-day conference every February. Presenting 30+ performances and 3 panels each year, and working with 50+ artists and academics from around the globe, OUTsider Festival has become a highly anticipated annual event with strong local and national attendance. In 2020, OUTsider also began an artist-in-residency for LGBTQ+ artists whose resources are limited or whose livelihoods are otherwise in danger.
