MONDAY – #LGBTQSouth Community Support Group
April 13 • 12:00-1:00pm ET
Gather with other LGBTQ Southerners for virtual time together without a formal agenda. As we all responsibly practice social distancing, it’s more important than ever to seek out new ways to get connected, get to know each other, share how we’re feeling during this challenging time, and build community together. Kick off your week with this lunchtime gathering. This session is organized and hosted by CSE’s Community Health Program Director Ivy Hill.

TUESDAY – Southern Equality Studios’ Queer Artist Meet-Up Goes Virtual
April 14 • 4:00-5:30pm ET
If you’re a queer artist or creative in the South, join us for weekly discussions and tutorials. Topics range from how social distancing affects your art to how to monetize your creative skills in this virtual landscape. Southern Equality Studios has worked throughout 2019 and 2020 to create a space for queer Southern artists to gather and connect. This space will be facilitated by Al Murray, CSE’s Director of Engagement and Organizational Development, and Liz Williams, CSE’s Artist in Residence.
