QAF brings together diverse, intersectional and intergenerational communities to support artistic risk-taking and incite creative collaboration and experimentation. QAF aims to create a home for 2SLGBTQIA+ and QTBIPOC artists to present their work and broaden the public\u2019s appreciation of Queer arts and cultures.<\/p>\n<h2>SUM Gallery<\/h2>\n<p>SUM produces, presents and exhibits challenging, thought-provoking multidisciplinary art that pushes boundaries and initiates dialogue. From its roots in the Pride in Art Society (PiA), SUM gallery was founded in 2018 as a space for year-round programming of the Queer Arts Festival in Vancouver, Canada. SUM is located in the Sun Wah Centre in Vancouver\u2019s Chinatown neighborhood as part of the BC Artscape community cultural hub.
