The theme of this year’s festival is Fringes, Margins & Borders, which will examine artists living on the fringes of both the mainstream straight world and the queer world. the festival will explore borders that keep these artists from their dreams and how they can bring their art from the margins to center stage without sacrificing their integrity.
