About

 

Crush/Repeat is an annual art show for queer community and friends where participants pick a small art project to repeat in some manner every day for the month of March. A celebratory public show in April includes a curated gallery of visual projects with opportunity for performances and artist talks.

Borrowing inspiration from a national project called Fun-a-day, established artists and first-time creators alike emerge from winter together using art as an act of resistance, resilience and growth.
