SQUART welcomes participation at all stages of the production process by those who wish to become involved from the beginning, at later moments, or simply come to observe the process or products of the SQUART Army (on) Retreat.
We are thrilled to welcome internationally celebrated artists JESS CURTIS – KEITH HENESSY – CADEN MANSON – JEMMA NELSON – MEG STUART as our panel of celebrity judges. Similarly we are thrilled to be working along side Brian Karl, Program Director of Headlands Center for the Arts, and the wonderful team of staff, volunteers and artists in residency at this one of a kind art incubator.
About SQUART:Short for Spontaneous queer art, SQUART was originally conceived by Laura Arrington, out of the desire to foster community and create work without preciousness. THEOFFCENTER and SOMArts celebrate Laura’s passion and are committed to wholeheartedly support the production of this event.
SQUART’s format is simple, people show up at 6pm, break into teams and are given a list of criteria with two hours to make a piece. At 8pm whatever is made is performed! The work is then commented on by a panel of judges. It’s usually incredibly creative, inspiring, fun, and always bizarre.
